Parsons educators seek higher pay in negotiations
After several sessions the Parsons National Education Association revealed a 10 percent base salary increase and 11.5 percent overall raise request. The Parsons USD 503 district countered with a 1.2 percent base raise, rejecting a full freeze. The district notes the proposal would cost about $300,000 more, while current salaries average $22,800 and the base is $15,857. Both sides must balance the national average and local finances while aiming for a more realistic outcome.
