The ISD 831 School Board has voted unanimously to approve wage and benefit contracts and the required structural balance resolutions for four classified labor groups. Action came on Dec. 7 for school district mechanics, custodians, maintenance workers and laundry employees. The four labor groups with a combined 55 employees are represented by Teamsters Local 320. The new custodial, maintenance and laundry employees agreement will provide a total package salary and benefit increase of 8.45 percent over the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 school years with salary improvement taking 6 percent of the total. The employees command $2 million in district spending each year. The six-employee mechanics group will see a total package wage and benefit increase of 8 percent over the two-year period. Salary improvement will cost 3 percent a year for both years. School board approval followed ratification votes by the employee groups.
