Summary

The board approved a secretaries' unit contract that raises pay 4.7% this year and 3.1% (or IPD) the next year; the full contract was added to the packet the afternoon of the meeting, the superintendent said.

The board approved a contract with the district's secretaries' bargaining unit (the packet and transcript use both the abbreviations "KBSA" and "KPSA"). Superintendent Peterson apologized that the full contract "did not even get included in the full board packet" and said it was sent out later the same afternoon.

Peterson told the board negotiators spent about "90 minutes" to reach agreement and said the contract includes a 4.7% increase for the current year and a 3.1% increase (or IPD, whichever is higher) for the following year. A board member moved the contract and the board approved it in open session. The board did not specify any additional financial details in the public discussion; copies of the contract were added to the record after the packet was updated.
