School Board Approves Raises For Teachers

The Clark County School Board last night approved pay raises for district teachers, following an August agreement between the district and union leaders. 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the three-year agreement includes a pay raise for teachers and an increased contribution from the district to the teachers’ health insurance trust.  

It came after an arbitration decision and it includes $51 million to provide step increases for salaries, increased health care contributions for licensed personnel in the current and next school years, and $17 million to fund the first year of a Professional Growth System.

Both sides have also agreed to work together during the next legislative session to ask for more funding.  The board’s vote was 5-1, with Trustee Kevin Child casting the lone vote in opposition.
