HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven school board will take action on a new contract agreement with its teachers on Monday.
The teachers voted on the contract after the district and the teachers union approved the agreement following a negotiation session in July.
Under the proposed agreement, teachers will see a 2.75% increase in pay. That will raise the starting base pay to $40,473 per year. The union was asking for a 3% increase while the board had countered with 2.5%.
Also Monday, the board will look over a list of capital improvements for next year and go over the back-to-school plan for dealing with the pandemic.
An executive session is also on the agenda to talk over a personnel matter, and the board will take action on contracts and work agreements within the district.
Monday's meeting of the Haven school board begins at 6 p.m. at the Haven District Offices at 414 W. Main.
