        Discussion: 
SEM-BOE offered and  SEM-EA has accepted the following offer: 
                            Insurance will stay with the same coverage as the 2022-23 school year and a $1360 raise on the base. This would make base pay $37,000 for the 2023-2024 school year. The percent of increase would be 5.95, which is an increase of $116,776 to the school budget for teacher salaries. This does not take into account the increase of non-certified staff salaries. This offer would raise you from 100.16% in the array to a projected100.73% in the array.
