Board approves LAHSA tentative contract with 2.5% raises, longevity and stipend increases
Summary
The school board approved a tentative agreement with LAHSA (Lakeville Association of School Administrators) that includes 2.5% salary increases in each of two years, higher longevity payments and larger higher-education stipends; the presenter said the package totals about 8.23% and the contract value is roughly $7 million.
Director Albrecht presented the board with a tentative agreement reached with LAHSA, the district's administrators' association. Albrecht summarized the package: "including a 2.5 percent increase to salaries year 1 of the contract and a 2.5 increase to salaries year 2 of the contract," along with increases in longevity pay, higher-education stipends and HRA contributions. The presenter described the second-year total package as approximately 8.23 percent.
Directors asked for the written contract and more detail on how the package fits district parameters. Director Thompson noted the package appeared to fall within the board's financial parameters and asked whether it aligned with other contracts; the presenter said the administrators' contract was very close to the teacher contract (about 0.04 difference). A board member asked for the dollar figure; the presenter estimated the total contract value is "right around $7,000,000." A motion to approve the contract as presented was moved, seconded and the chair called for the ayes with no opposition recorded in the transcript.
Board members also discussed whether they wanted more frequent updates on bargaining and the timeline for other pending contracts. The superintendent committed to providing additional reporting as requested.
