Teachers get $3,000 more a year in new contract
What happened
The board ratified a two-year teacher contract on November 14, 2025. Most teachers get $3,000 more base pay each year plus a $500 bonus. Starting pay goes from $56,500 to $59,000 in 2026-27. Teachers rated ineffective get no raise.
Why it matters to families
Teacher pay is the biggest part of the budget and helps the district hire and keep teachers.
The evidence
The 2025-2027 agreement lists the raise rules and salary range ($56,500-$94,685, then $59,000-$97,885). The November 10 and 14, 2025 recordings show the presentation and the ratification vote, with one member abstaining.
