Tentative Deal Reached Between Teachers And Vigo County School Corp

VIGO COUNTY, Ind – A tentative agreement has been reached between the Vigo County Teachers Association and the Vigo County School Corporation.

The deal calls for teachers evaluated as “effective” or “highly effective” to receive a 4.75 percent base pay increase for 2018-19.

Teachers hired on or after May 10, 2005 and on or before May 7, 2018 will received an additional $500 added to their base pay while those hired between May 10, 1996 and Feb. 23, 2005 will see an additional $300.

Beginning teachers with a bachelor’s degree would make an additional $1,000 and start at $35,000, while those with a master’s degree will also see an additional $1,000 and start at $36,850.

There will also be small increases to insurance and retirement contributions.

VCTA members will vote in their buildings today, and the contract is expected to go before the School Board at its Monday meeting.
