Lebanon Teachers and Board Narrow Gap in Pay Dispute
Salary talks in Lebanon Community School District see teachers drop starting pay request by 200 while the board boosts its offer by 0.5 percent. Board warns it cannot fund higher costs and may keep a 7200 starting salary with limited raises for two years, while other staff could receive 52 percent hikes. Officials dispute whether increments count as cost of living or promotions. The board claims only 15 percent would receive the 100 raise, not 42 percent, under current terms. Details show 5.5 percent rises for the rest up to 500 annually, and notes on past cost-of-living increases. The board emphasizes negotiating in good faith for taxpayers and students alike.
