Board cuts 3.5 teaching jobs and gives a 1% raise
What happened
On April 20 and April 27 the board gave preliminary and then final notices that 3.5 teaching contracts would not be renewed for 2026-27. It also approved a one-step plus 1% raise for teachers (6 yes, 1 no) and a one-step increase for most support and administrator pay grades, with no increase for top administrators.
Why it matters to families
Fewer teaching positions can affect class sizes and course offerings, and the pay choices show how the board is balancing a tight budget.
The evidence
The April 27 special meeting minutes record the final notice vote and both salary votes with the roll call.
