District Dishonors Educators: RSD Proposed Salaries Would Hold REA Members as the Worst-Paid in the Metro Area for Years to Come!

7/5/2021

 

At the June 24th bargain session the district made a three year salary proposal at 3%, 2.5%, and 1.5% for a total of 7%.  This falls below the average inflation rate of 2.7% per year.  REA members are already at the bottom of the Metro 14 districts.  This proposal would keep us there and even cause us to fall further behind.  Other metro districts are settling their contracts at an average of 3.5% per year, or 10.5% overall.

What does this mean?  It means that the district is not serious about attracting or retaining quality educators.  It means that our members will continue to be drawn to other districts where they can make $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 more per year.  It means that when we go to replace these members the district will not be competitive in hiring the brightest or the best educators.  It means that the district is hurting our students....

What can REA do?  REA must hold the line!  We must not settle a contract that harms our community.  We must remain strong and prepare to start the next school year without a renewed contract.  We must reach out to our learning community and educate, collaborate, and join our voices to move the school board to reasonable proposals.  In the meantime, the 2020/2021 contract language will remain in effect as will all of its protections and rights.

Your bargain team will meet and prepare over the summer.  We will reach out to the district and establish new dates for negotiations, hopefully in-person negotiations, and continue to bargain in good faith for a contract that best serves all in the Reynolds learning community.
