The Minot Public School Board approved the latest contracts with the teachers’ and administrators’ unions following several weeks of negotiations at its regular meeting on Thursday, June 11.
District business manager Laura Dokken reviewed the new one year contract with the North Dakota United Chapter 52 Union, which increased base wages by 4% and reduced all MPS-paid Health Savings Account contributions effective Jan. 1, 2027. The projected increase for the package is $323,301, or about 5% compared to the prior contract.
The board voted unanimously to ratify the contract.
The Minot Administrators Association negotiations also resulted in a one-year contract and included a reduction of District Health Savings Account contributions, beginning in 2027, and changes to personal leave to only pay out upon separation. The salary schedule saw an increased base to $80,642, allowance of experience and education advancements, and other updates to the pay schedule.
