Board proposes 'Option A' freeze with $600 stipend for certificated staff
Summary
Under Counterproposal A, the Board proposed freezing certificated employees at their 2025–26 salary step and lane while providing a $600 FTE-based stipend (paid Feb and June) and limited cell movements for employees meeting specific criteria.
The Board’s Counterproposal A for the 2026–27 school year would keep certificated employees at their 2025–26 salary step and lane, while permitting placement of new hires where they would have been on the 2025–26 schedule. The proposal also allows compensation for educational-credit advancement earned beyond an employee’s 2025–26 placement and requires that certificated staff be compensated at the state minimum salary or higher based on FTE. Specific cell movements were stated for staff meeting R3→P1 and P5→AP1 criteria.
Separately, the Board proposed a $600 stipend for each certificated employee based on FTE, paid in two installments (February and June). The minutes specify that the stipend would not be included as part of an employee’s contracted salary. The NPEA did not accept Counterproposal A during the May 14 session.
