New Contract For Washington Support Staff

One week after approving a five-year contract for teachers,  the Washington School Board has unanimously approved a new, five-year deal for district support staff.  Superintendent Dr. James Konrad says it calls for an ‘average of about two-and-a-half percent wage hike over the course of the deal’.  Health care costs will remain the same but there will be a slight increase for the retirement incentive. Konrad calls it ‘a fair deal.’  No other details were released.
