Negotiations between the Carroll Community School District (CCSD) Board of Education and the Carroll Education Association (CEA) began at last nights (Monday) meeting at Adams Elementary. The teacher’s union is asking for a five percent increase in all packages at CCSD. CEA Representative and Middle School Social Studies Teacher, Tom Borchers, Explains the reason behind the increase.
Borchers adds the CEA would like languages added to the contract that will recognize them as the bargaining unit for district educators through 2024.
The CCSD school board then presented their opening bid to the CEA. Superintendent, Dr. Casey Berlau, says the board’s proposal is relatively simple and would last a single year
No formal action was taken on the proposals and negations will be behind closed doors. The school board is scheduled to meet again on Monday, March 7.
