School board and teachers spar over salary schedule
Talks on teachers pay hit a snag with a fall adjustment that fluctuates between 79 000 and 131 000, funded by turnover in staff. Swindler urged restoring the original adjustment as central office raises drew 12.1 percent while teachers gained 8.2 percent, risking agreement. A 2 percent boost for 189 of 454 teachers hinges on a half step for longevity, but Brand argues it costs 97 000 and prefers base-salary increases for broader benefit.
