Raises approved, with staff stipends paid from the Rainy Day Fund
What happened
On November 4, 2025 the board adopted the 2025-26 teacher contract ($700 raise, $500 stipend, $300 more for Early Literacy Endorsement), gave qualifying classified staff a 1% raise and $250 stipend, and agreed to pay half of a 5% health premium increase. All stipends are paid from the Rainy Day Fund.
Why it matters to families
Paying one-time stipends from reserves draws down the Rainy Day Fund rather than ongoing revenue.
The evidence
October 28 hearing minutes give the teacher terms; November 4 minutes record the votes and the Rainy Day Fund funding.
