BOE Members have NOT been attending the negotiations. The BOARD rejected our proposal. The Board's counter proposal DID NOT begin to correct the frozen salary schedule until 2025-26.
The BOARD states there is no money available... but the BOARD approved a budget with a $3 MILLION increase in the bucket o' money for certified staff (non-admin) raises over last fiscal year.
HEA only asks for $1.07 MILLION TO provide raises, and begin the salary fix. According to the BOARD's own documents, it would only then cost another estimated $230,000 to do the whole salary fix in one year.
Finish the Fix! This is equitable! This is fair!
