Negotiators swap static pay numbers for ranges; distribution depends on qualifying counts
Summary
Parties agreed to table-format changes that place larger amounts at top bands and accept ranges rather than fixed amounts; district warned per-teacher awards could fall below or exceed listed band amounts depending on how many teachers qualify by the Sept. 15 cutoff.
Negotiators discussed reordering pay tables so higher amounts appear at the top band and replacing static amounts with ranges. Meeting participant (S3) noted the union's version uses a different band-lettering scheme than the district's draft; Agency official (S1) said he would update cross-referenced language where letters change and produce a version that matches the table labels.
Both sides agreed ranges provide flexibility, but Agency official (S1) cautioned the final per-teacher award depends on how many instructional employees qualify under the MOU's criteria. S1 said that depending on reappointments and qualifying counts the per-person amount "can potentially even go below the 1,800" or "also go above the 2,000," underscoring why the parties opted for ranges and a post-September-15 reporting requirement to finalize distributions.
