After five bargaining sessions which began on October 1, 2019, the school district and union also tentatively agreed to the following:
– Changing bereavement leave to allow three days of leave upon the death of a family member.
– Allowing employees to transfer up to eight hours of sick leave to another employee who is in need.
– Modifying the on-call plan to raise the stipend to $15.00.
– Providing transportation employees in an automotive mechanic role an annual tool replacement stipend of up to $150.
WHAT’S NEXT: The plan is to have this information out for an employee vote and ratification in early December in preparation for school board approval at the December 17, 2019 board meeting.
