collective-bargaining-agreement-ratified-by-shelbyville-central-schools-board
Aministrators and non-certified were included in a separate motion.
“I feel like we came up with a good agreement that is fair for all,” said SCS Superintendent Dr. Matt Vance, who is excluded from the base salary increases for administrators. “In today’s climate with teacher shortage and worker shortage, we tried to do as much as we can within our limits. And our limits are tight.
“We have declining enrollment. We are down again this year. Of course, that impacts dollars. We look at everything across the board and then we try to do the absolute best we can for all of our employees overall.”
Some of the highlights of the CBA and separate motion inmpacting administrators and non-certified include:
$2,000 raise to base salary for all qualified teachers $2,000 catch-up raise for teachers that have been with SCS for awhile to “catch up” with teachers hired at same level as them SCS will pay 80% of new health insurance premiums, leaving employees with health insurance to pay other 20% Administrators receive $3,000 raise to base salary 3% raise to most non-teaching employeesThe ratified contract is valid for one year. The bargaining process will start again in September of 2024.
“That’s how the contract works,” explained Vance (photo). “We are status quo until the start of the year until we start formal bargaining, which does not start until mid-September. So we have a window from mid-September to mid-November to get our collective bargaining agreement ratified.”
The teachers’ union ratified the agreement two weeks ago, according to Vance. The SCS board met last week to come to a tentative agreement, which was ratified Wednesday night at a specially-called meeting.
“It is a rather lengthy process anymore because of some of the steps we have to do in terms of statute to make sure everything is compliant,” said Vance. “It’s a detailed process that went very smoothly on our end.
“I would like to say I appreciate the board’s cooperation. I appreciate our teachers association’s cooperation too.”
