October 30, 2026 Public Meeting on Tentative 2026-27 Collective Bargaining Agreement

MSD Warren Township held a public meeting on October 30, 2026, to present the tentative 2026–27 collective bargaining agreement. The district’s chief human resource officer described the agreement’s compensation and benefits terms: a $1,000 increase to teacher base salaries, higher starting salaries (including $51,500 for a bachelor’s-degree teacher with no experience and $52,500 for a master’s-degree teacher with no experience), and no change to health plan design or employee premium shares, which remain at an 89/11 board-employee split. The presentation also described a $1,500 health-related contribution or stipend option, changes to leave allocations, an increase in the extracurricular stipend base index from $41,000 to $42,000, and adjustments to extracurricular stipends, including explicitly listing flag football in group C and adding a speech-language pathologist team-leader role.

No vote was taken at this hearing. The presenter said the school board would consider approval at a meeting scheduled for November 2, 2026. Board members praised the negotiating process and its attention to employee compensation while maintaining the district’s fiscal soundness. No procurement activity was identified.
