The tentative agreement includes a 1% salary schedule increase effective January 1, 2018, and another 1% salary schedule increase effective January 1, 2019.
In addition, two mandatory professional development days will be added to the work year (from 184 to 186 days), beginning in 2018-2019. A third mandatory professional development day will be added beginning with the 2019-2020 regular work year (from 186 to 187 days). Per Diem compensation for each additional day will be included on the salary schedules.
