Salaries
The District is working toward the goal of having the negotiated salary increases in your next check (May 19, 2023).

We will work with them to address any discrepancies.

We will send more information as it becomes available.

School Calendar
The vote on the proposed 2023-2024 calendar was:

92.04% (1,828) Support the BTF entering into an MOU for the proposed forty-three (43) week calendar for the 2023-2024 school year only.

6.75% (134) Do not support the BTF entering into an MOU for the proposed forty-three (43) week calendar for the 2023-2024 school year only.

1.21% (24) Abstained from voting on the BTF entering into an MOU for the proposed forty-three (43) week calendar for the 2023-2024 school year only.

Total Votes - 1986

We will therefore sign our usual MOU allowing for the forty-three (43) week calendar for 2023-2024 only.
