Lawrence teachers salaries clash over raises in board talks
Lawrence Education Assn proposes a 9.95 percent salary and fringe benefit rise, higher than the board’s 6.95 percent offer. Board spokesman Bill Wilson cites ongoing talks and executive-session discussions as negotiations resume at 4:45 p.m. at the district Service Center. The proposals differ on base pay, with starting salaries of 20 276 under the board plan and 20 831 under the LEA plan, plus a 1.67 percent calendar extension and a $117 000 boost for higher health insurance premiums. The district may consider bonds for new schools as facilities needs grow.
