Parkview includes 2.63% CPI in preliminary budget as bargaining with teachers nears
Summary
The Finance Committee was told that the Consumer Price Index for the bargaining unit effective July 1, 2026, is 2.63% and that figure has been included in the district's preliminary budget; bargaining with the Parkview Schools Education Association will begin ahead of an April 27 board meeting.
The Finance Committee discussed compensation planning and the bargaining timeline for 2026–27.
Bob Chady told the committee the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the bargaining unit effective July 1, 2026, "was 2.63%" and that the district had included that value in its preliminary budget, which currently shows a modest surplus based on present estimates. Chady said the district plans to commence bargaining with the Parkview Schools Education Association soon and hopes an agreement can be ready for the school board's April 27 meeting so teacher contracts will reflect the 2026–27 salary figures.
Committee members were given this timeline as an informational update; formal bargaining proposals and any changes to the preliminary budget will be reported back to the committee and board as negotiations progress.
