Contract Ratified with Hiawatha Teachers
03/12/2013

  ( KNZA )--The Hiawatha Board of Education has ratified a negotiated agreement  with the Hiawatha Teachers Association for the 2012-2013 school year.

The board took the action following a short closed door session Monday evening.

The Teachers Association previously ratified the agreement.

Under the agreement, the base salary for a beginning teacher will increase $500 to $32,760.  Plus teachers will receive movement on the salary schedule based on their experience.

An impasse had been declared in contract negotiations in June of last year.  A federal mediator met with the two sides in July, however no agreement was reached.

Teachers had been working under the 2011-2012 contract.
