Summary
Teachers, students, alumni and community members addressed the board during public comment to urge action on teacher pay amid ongoing negotiations with the Gull Lake Education Association (GLEA). Several speakers called for the Board to prioritize compensation during bargaining.
Multiple teachers, students and community members addressed the Gull Lake Community Schools Board of Trustees during the public comment portion of the April 20 meeting, urging the Board to prioritize teacher compensation as contract talks with the Gull Lake Education Association continue. The speakers listed in the meeting record were Tia Vacha, Katie Zamora, Annie Michalak, Patty Janik, Kailynn Bachman, Elliott Mingerink and Alaina Neff.
The public comments were recorded as remarks to "share their perspectives on teacher salaries and contract negotiations." Board President Carole Mendez and Superintendent Christopher Rundle heard the comments; the board later moved into a closed session to discuss collective bargaining under the Open Meetings Act. The meeting minutes do not record specific salary figures or the negotiators' positions; negotiations are noted as ongoing and the Finance and Negotiations committees continue work on wage recommendations.
