Grayslake District 46 Board of Education Adopts Tentative Agreement

Grayslake, Ill – Negotiating teams for the Grayslake Federation of Teachers, Lake County Federation of Teachers (Local 504) and Grayslake Community Consolidated School District #46, on the morning of December 16, 2005, after more than ten hours of bargaining, reached a tentative agreement.

“The Board and Union teams since this past July have spent many hours at the table bargaining this agreement”, said Union President, Diane Elfering. “Compromises were made by both sides to reach this settlement”.

“The Board and Administration are looking forward to working with the teachers on the road ahead to focus on the education of the children of District 46”, said Ellen Correll, Superintendent.

Members of the Grayslake Federation of Teachers ratified the tentative agreement in early January, 2006.

The District 46 Board of Education adopted the agreement at last night’s Board meeting.

The Board and Union agreed to a three year agreement, effective July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2008. Salary increases for each year of the agreement amount to an increase of 1.8% per cell of the salary schedule, plus step movement ranging from 0% to 4%, (giving a pay increase range from 1.8% for new hires, up to 5.9% increase for returning teachers). Teachers at the end of the qualifying lanes on the salary schedule in any year of the agreement will receive 3.5% pay increases.

    [...] Let’s discuss longevity. This is basically the position on the salary chart based on the number of years of service. The published numbers show a 1.8% increase from year to year between salary charts. This raise is for all teachers regardless of where they are on the chart. The issue appears to be that if you are a teacher at the bottom of the column this is the only raise you receive until you have fulfilled the longevity requirements. [...]

    My comments are for those individuals who blindly follow what the school board says.
    - They have said that they misunderstood what the term “Flexible Benefits” means. The district has had Flexible Benefits for many more years than these board members have attempted to understand what it takes to be a “quality” board member. The current board members are now claiming that the definition/understanding of flexible benefits is different now then when previous boards, administrators, and teacher/unions have negotiated and accepted in the past. The teacher’s union negotiates on behalf of the teachers with the understanding of the terminology that has been accepted in the past. Definitions do not change.
