, which will be effective Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, 2024.
The contract negotiating team consisted of teachers, district human resources staff, other administrative staff, the school board president and a representative from Ski Country UniServ, which is a local affiliate of the Colorado Education Association.
Chief Finance Officer Kara Drake led the negotiations team and presented the major changes in the contract to the school board for approval at its June 17 meeting.
Drake said the contract was ratified by membership of the teachers union, and the negotiating team met seven or eight times to work through the details of the contract.
The biggest change for teachers comes in their salary, as a two-year plan was outlined to get the starting salary to $50,000. Base salaries for the upcoming school years will increase from $44,530 to $48,500. Discussions regarding salary for the 2023-24 school year will be reopened and finalized closer to the start of that year.

Dozens of people debated Critical Race Theory at their board meeting Wednesday evening.

Critical Race Theory is an academic concept with the core idea that racism is a social construct that’s embedded in social, legal and political systems, Education Week reports. Proponents of critical race theory say that its teachings show how race is implemented into history and that it does not teach that any race is inherently racist. Critics say the theory is divisive and discriminatory.
