Summary

Staff member (S2) outlined changes to the certified staff CBA: salary matrices updated to meet new state minimums, substitute pay increased from $100 to $120, teachers to be paid twice monthly, instructional day length aligned to calendar, and obsolete leave language removed for FMLA compliance.

Staff member (S2) presented proposed updates to the certified staff collective bargaining agreement for 2025–26 and 2026–27 and recommended board approval. "It does update the salary matrices to match the stars act minimum teacher salaries," S2 said, describing alignment with new state requirements; S2 also described moving substitute pay from $100 to $120 and expanding the allowable pre‑school year work window to two weeks.

S2 explained the agreement would pay teachers twice per month (rather than monthly), bring instructional day length into conformity with the calendar, remove obsolete sabbatical and medical leave language that did not match federal FMLA, and revise liquidated damages and compensation language for teachers who break contract. The union and district team reviewed the provisions, and S2 recommended approval to the board.
