Board approves AFSCME letter adding $1/hour differential for special-education van driving
Summary
Board approved a Letter of Understanding with AFSCME Local 1691 to compensate paraprofessionals assigned to drive vans for special education with a $1.00/hour differential, including retroactive pay back to March 1, 2025; the LOU expires June 30, 2025.
The board on March 24 approved a Letter of Understanding between Hill City School District and AFSCME Local 1691 that adds a $1.00-per-hour differential for employees assigned to drive vans for special education transportation. The agreement includes a backpay provision for employees who performed van-driving duties between March 1, 2025 and the end of the 2024–25 school year and states the LOU will remain in effect until June 30, 2025 unless extended by mutual agreement.
The LOU clarifies that the differential will be incorporated into the labor agreement when the contract is opened for regular negotiations, but does not create precedent for future agreements. The motion to approve the LOU was recorded as passed by the board with a unanimous vote among members present (4–0).
