Overview
- Negotiators reached the two-year pact late Saturday, three days before the planned walkout.
- The agreement sets enforceable class-size caps and limits special education caseloads, with no middle or high school class exceeding 38 students.
- Teachers would receive 2% raises in 2025–26 and 2026–27 and move to the top of the salary schedule faster.
- Education support professionals would get $750–$1,750 lump sums based on experience, a 3% raise next year, 14 paid break days, and 15 minutes daily for non-student tasks.
- Adult education teachers would shift to the main salary schedule, and the district has not disclosed full costs as it faces a $75 million gap this year and at least a $25 million deficit projected for 2026–27.
