New contract keeps Everett teachers as Washington's best-paid
EVERETT — Veteran teachers in the Everett Public Schools will continue to earn the highest salaries in the state with their newest contract.
And under terms of the three-year deal, the teachers union and school district are moving to do the same for those beginning their careers as classroom instructors.
The district’s Board of Directors is expected to approve the collective bargaining agreement Sept. 14. The Everett Education Association, which represents 1,350 educators, ratified the terms last month.
This is one of eight new teacher contracts completed in area school districts in recent days, with a ninth, in Edmonds, wrapped up in July. Each one covers issues such as schedules and evaluation processes. Pay raises, which are one closely watched component, ranged from 2.5% to 5% for certificated instructors this school year.
