A proposed agreement reached by Eagle County Schools and its teachers’ union aimed to strike a balance between one-time bonuses and pay increases for staff and hiring additional employees. But the measure was voted down by the district’s board Wednesday night.
The two-part agreement was reached by a negotiations team including district administrators, principals and teachers.
The first part focused on what to do with $1.7 million of unspent funding from a variety of budget line items that saw expenditures decline or money go unspent this school year, in large part because of pandemic impacts and grant funding that materialized to help cover costs.
