In addition, the district highlighted the previously bargained $2.1 million to continue the longevity supplement.
“I am pleased that an agreement was reached that raises the minimum teacher salary and includes increases for veteran teachers," VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said in the press release. "This deal reflects the priorities of the salary committee and demonstrates our commitment to addressing the salary compression that has occurred due to recent legislation.”
Last week, VUE reported that instructional bargaining would resume, almost three weeks after the district declared an impasse with VUE's instructional and support bargaining units, citing an inability to reach a negotiation on salaries and benefits after eight bargaining sessions.
