3.9 Teacher Master Agreements
The Project Consultants examined the Master Agreements negotiated by
the School Boards of the School District of Bruce, Ladysmith-Hawkins
School District, and Weyerhaeuser Area School District and their
respective teacher organizations to determine negotiated salary/wage and
health insurance benefits. In the event of the consolidation of school
districts, staffs—in whole or, likely, in part—will be merged (on a seniority
basis), and the more favorably-negotiated contract conditions prevail/apply.
The School District of Bruce’s 2006-07 teacher salary schedule
wages/benefits were reported as follows: BA: $31,902; BA + 24: $33,456;
MA: $34,059; MA + 32: $36,130; and MA + 32 (top): $54,558.
Ladysmith-Hawkins School District’s 2006-07 teacher salary schedule
