Maple Dale-Indian Hill School Approves Contract

The School Board unanimously approved a three-year contract for the employees Local 1486 that will freeze their wages for the next two years.

The new contract for non-teaching staff takes effect July 1. It requires a 10 percent premium contribution toward health insurance and a 2 percent contribution toward employee pensions.

The pact also excludes any wage increase for the first two years, but allows for a 2.5 percent increase in the third year.

The total package changes amount to a 0.85 percent cost increase in the second year, and a 4.22 percent increase in the third year.

District Administrator Mary Dean and Business Manager Gary Swalve could not be reached for comment.
