CANFIELD The South Range school board this week approved a one-year continuation of its contract with the classified union.
The board approved the contract with the South Range Classified Employees Association effective July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 at the same terms as the current one. Negotiations for a new three-year contract will begin in the fall.
The board last month approved the same agreement with the teachers union. Schools Superintendent Bethany Carlson said at that time considering the pandemic and the uncertainty it brings, the best decision is to hold steady until the following year.
In other business, the board approved three-year administrative contracts to Steve Matos, elementary principal and grants coordinator, and Shari Lewis, director of instruction and student services, effective Aug. 1, 2021 through July 32, 2014.
