Board approves certificated bargaining changes including higher substitute pay
Summary
The board approved the certificated bargaining agreement, which includes several contract language updates and pay changes for substitutes, extra‑duty, supervisor designee pay and adviser stipends; staff said salary step/IPD decisions will be finalized before July 31.
The Washtucna School District board voted to approve the certificated bargaining update after a staff presentation that reviewed negotiated contract language changes. The presenter highlighted increased substitute daily pay, higher extra‑duty rates and adjustments to stipends and supervisor‑designee pay.
"So instead of 1 30, they're, upping it to 1 55 per day," the staff member said when describing the negotiated change in substitute pay, adding that after a substitute has served 30 days the rate would increase to $1.65 as written in the draft. The presenter also described an agreement to notify the union by July 31 each year about IPD (the inflation/step decision) so that salary scheduling can be confirmed during the budget process.
The agreement includes modest increases to other hourly or stipend items—the presenter cited a small bump for Missoula Children's Theatre pay and an increase in adviser pay—and was reviewed by legal counsel before finalization. Board members moved to approve the bargaining update and the motion carried.
