AGREEMENT REACHED
Tonight after many lengthy bargaining sessions, we reached an agreement for the 2014-2015 contract re-openers. We started these negotiations with the school board offering $0 for employee salary increases. After many long hours of hard work we have reached a tentative agreement.
The bargaining team worked tirelessly to find every dollar available. Taking the current political and budget climate in mind, we think that the resolution is fair and helps move us forward for the year.

3. Personal Property Loss Fund – expanded to cover lost or damaged tools. Maximum reimbursement increased from $300 to $400 per claim.
