Teachers say contract talks were positive and press board for regular cost-of-living pay adjustments
Summary
A member of the teachers' negotiations team described recent positive contract discussions and asked the board to commit to regular salary adjustments tied to cost of living, saying the request is central to keeping teacher compensation competitive.
Kendra Zanotto, a fifth-grade teacher who said she served on the district's negotiations team, reported that negotiations with the district were long but "very positive" and that the union remains focused on pay adjustments.
"We're continue to seek continuing to seek board support on committing to a regular salary adjustment based on the cost of living," Zanotto said, describing the salary adjustment as a priority for union membership. She thanked the district for partnership during talks and urged continued discussion with board members about a sustainable approach to teacher pay.
Trustees acknowledged the negotiation progress and said they would continue to discuss compensation and budget priority-setting in future meetings.
