Board approves tentative licensed-staff contract with multi-year pay increases
Summary
The board approved a tentative licensed-staff (teachers) contract that includes clarified language on hiring and leave, and a phased multi-year salary increase (presented as an initial 6% increase followed by smaller steps).
Board members approved a tentative licensed-staff contract reached in negotiations with the licensed association. A negotiation representative summarized key changes as updated hiring flexibility, clarified bereavement leave language and a multi-year salary schedule intended to make the district more competitive: an initial larger increase (presented as 6%) followed by smaller increases in later years.
Speakers said the multi-year ladder is designed to bring starting and experienced teacher pay closer to comparator districts, with the goal of attracting candidates (one example given: a target starting salary of about $50,000 and top-of-scale figures above $100,000 in later years). The board moved to approve the agreement as presented; staff noted further ratification steps occur on the union side and final signature once member ratification completes.
