Negotiations between Cedar Rapids Education Assn and school board over starting salaries and cost estimates have stalled. CREA seeks 17.5 percent rise to 9400 dollars for beginners, board offered 13.24 percent to 8900 dollars. Impasse procedures begin with committees and possible mediation.
Ramstad notes a second impasse in five years as CREA leaders report pay scale adjustments lag behind cost of living. Jacobs says base salaries, 8900, fail to recruit. 1974 75 median teacher pay 10920 contrasts with factory wages 10933 in metro Cedar Rapids, with 11.6 percent cost of living rise and 7.18 percent including longevity.
Ramstad said the administration maintains that 7.18 and 13.24 percent raises exceed the cost of living increase for the two year period. The board argues it has surpassed last year’s minimum and teachers in Des Moines and Davenport have higher starting salaries. He notes about 100 districts have settled with averages near 9 percent.
Jacobs notes a projected budget surplus could support additional pay increases. He also flags potential constraints and tradeoffs if revenues fall short.
