002a two-year contract will be retroactive to July 1st, 2025 going through June 30th, 2027. It calls for a base increase of our returning teachers of $3,500 year one and $2,000 year two. also includes a $2,500 stipen both years. Uh those who possess the literacy endorsement will receive an additional um increase on their base pay of $250. Uh we've increased the ancillary pay, ancillary pay to $30 an hour. So that means meetings that we would require them to be at after hours or in the summer or if they're covering a class for us because we're short on substitute substitutes. Uh so that increased to 30. uh we increase all of our extra uh curricular positions uh 7% and this also brings our starting salary to $45,000 which is the minimum required by law. So those were
003the changes to the contract >> to vote just information only and since there's no questions >> next meeting will be November >> week from today November 6th and we'll ratify the contract on that date.
