RSD Offers 1% Raise to REA Members

On Tuesday, 5/18/21, the district made a ludicrous offer of 1% per year over three years to REA members.  Thus continues rsd's disrespect to the work of its certified educational staff.  The district says it wants to attract and retain quality teachers who represent the diversity of our student population.  By offering salaries that are the lowest in the metro 14 this will not happen.  For the past 20 years the district has compensated REA members at rates below inflation.  THIS MUST STOP HERE AND NOW!

The two sides were able to reach a tentative agreement on Article #9, Teaching Hours.  Gains were made as follows:  a) the district will begin looking at and adjusting start times with REA members serving within the work group before the end of the 2021-22 school year,  and b) passing time for specialists and counselors was codified for members who serve at the elementary level.

The next session is scheduled for Thursday, June 3rd, from 5:00-8:00.  REA will bring counters on articles 5, 22, 23, 26, and 30.  The district will bring a counter on 9 and also answers to multiple questions asked by REA.  

Please join us on June 3rd as time is waining to reach a settlement before the contract expires on June 30th.  WE NEED YOuR SUPPORT!!!!
