(Griswold) The Griswold School Board approved pay increases for sub-para-educators and substitute teachers effective immediately on Monday.
Superintendent Dave Henrichs says the increase is due to the worker shortage.
Additionally, the Griswold School Board approved a tentative agreement with the certified staff on February 15. Henrichs says the deal is for a five-percent package increase for the 2022-2023 school year and a five-percent package increase for the 2023-2024 school year.
Henrichs says a caveat is attached to the five-percent package increase for the 2023-2024 school year to offset what could create unfairness to the district or certified staff.
Henrichs says contract negotiations would re-open for the 2023-2024 school year if health insurance rates increase more than 10-percent or state funding is less than one percent or more than four percent.
The School Board will finalize the contract agreement at the March School Board meeting.
