PERTINENT FACTS
The 2024-2027 Collective Agreement was ratified by the School Board on June 28. All teachers who received contracts prior to June 29 received an addendum to their current contract implementing the changes from the 2024-2027 Collective Agreement. Increase in Salary Article 28 of the 2024-2027 Collective Agreement includes salary schedules for the next three years. The salary schedule for 2024-2025 includes an increase of 4% from the 2023-2024 salary schedule, which was used for all contracts issued prior to June 29. Change in Step Placement Article 26.2.C. of the 2024-2027 Collective Agreement included a change to the years of school experience that can be credited for in-state experience and combined in-state and out-of-state experience (note: years credited for out-of-state experience only are set in Alaska Statute 14.20.220(e), and therefore did not change). As a result, the addendums for some teachers also included an increase in step placement. |
