The RSU 60/MSAD 60 School Board meeting held on May 1, 2025, focused primarily on the ratification of the support staff agreement, which includes significant salary increases and benefits for employees.

During the meeting, details were shared regarding the multiyear percentage increases for all contracts, with a notable increase of approximately $250,000 in the support staff contract from the previous year. The support staff will see salary increases of 5.1% in the first year, 5.3% in the second year, and 5.2% in the third year of the contract. These adjustments are partly due to changes in minimum wage regulations.

The transportation contract, which was also discussed, is a three-year agreement that includes this current year. It was noted that there would be no changes to longevity benefits or insurance costs for transportation staff, although there is a new attendance bonus for employees.

The meeting provided a comprehensive overview of salary scales, benefit information, and total salary cost projections for the upcoming years. The board emphasized the importance of these agreements in supporting staff and ensuring competitive compensation.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the district's commitment to enhancing employee benefits and addressing wage adjustments in response to economic changes. The board plans to continue reviewing and refining these agreements to support staff effectively in the future.
