Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – Teachers in the Clark County School District received an early Christmas present on Wednesday when it was announced that a new contract agreement was reached between their union and CCSD.
The agreement includes a 10 percent raise for educators in the first year of the deal, and an 8 percent raise in year two.
In addition, there will be $5,000 additional pay effective July 1, 2024, for Special Education teachers and teachers in Title 1 schools with 5% vacancies
Clark County School District Superintendent Jesus Jara released a statement after the agreement announcement, stating “As I said more than 12 months ago, teachers are the most important influence on student learning, and after more than 11 bargaining sessions that continued throughout the arbitration process, our educators will finally get the pay increases they are long overdue."
Negotiations were often contentious, reaching the point where an arbitrator was appointed in September to hear both sides
