Fort Wayne Community Schools and the local teacher’s union presented a tentative two-year contract to the school board on Monday.
The contract covers July 1 of this year through June 30, 2023 and would include a 4 percent raise to salaries in each year. By the end of the contract years, the salary range will be $43,998 to $77,330.
The contract also includes increased curriculum development, continuing to compensate teachers for additional classroom coverage to help manage substitute shortage and increased stipends for co-curricular and athletic positions.
