Long‑tenured teachers tell A‑C Central board they were left off new salary schedule
Summary
Five long‑tenured teachers told the A‑C Central board during public comment they remain tied to the prior contract and were excluded from a new salary schedule, urging the board to recognize their years of service and correct pay steps.
Five teachers and a spokesperson told the A‑C Central CUSD 262 board during public comment that they were excluded from the district's newly adopted salary schedule and remain tied to the prior contract, which they say conflicts with contract Article 11.3.
"The most important part of why we are here today…we are currently the only ones off the schedule," the group representative said, reading examples showing year‑by‑year differences and noting one colleague, Tracy Taft, was recently returned to the schedule. The speaker provided a packet with calculations for fiscal year 25 and projections for fiscal years 26 and 27 to illustrate step‑by‑step discrepancies.
Board members asked clarifying questions about how the district applied steps and whether the previous MOU (an extra stipend) resolved the discrepancy; staff indicated the new schedule moved most teachers but some retained placement tied to the older contract. The commenter asked the board to "recognize us for our tenure" and urged a closed‑session follow up on salary schedules.
The board did not take immediate action in open session but indicated the issue would be discussed further in closed session as part of deliberations concerning salary schedules.
