The Knox Community School Board ratified the collective bargaining agreement with the Knox Federation of Teachers this week.
Superintendent Dr. William Reichhart said he and the school board members held negotiations with the Federation and it all went very well.
“The teachers will be receiving a $2,000 increase for all of our teachers that were with us last year,” explained Dr. Reichhart. “This will be retroactive back to the beginning of the school year. We changed a couple of minor things on the extra curricular schedule, but nothing significant in terms of dollars.”
Dr. Reichhart previously stated that the action raises the teacher base salary to $42,600 at the corporation and it raises the cap on the top pay for the most experienced teachers to $67,715.
The school board previously held a public hearing on the matter in September.
