# FCS School Board Meeting to Discuss Tentative Collective Bargaining Agreement (10-01-2026)

The FCS School Board held a public meeting on October 1, 2026, to discuss a tentative one-year collective bargaining agreement with teachers. The presented terms include a $1,200 base-salary increase, rollover of the prior year’s loyalty stipend into base salary, revised stipends for selected duties and programs, and a $50 payment for supervising an extracurricular event. The agreement also addresses holiday-break leave allocations by building, maternity leave, salary increases tied to performance evaluations, placement of experienced new hires, and a retirement buyout for up to 10 eligible certified staff members retiring at the end of the 2026–27 school year. No specific total contract value was stated.

Board members thanked the negotiation team and described the agreement as a good contract given the district’s circumstances, noting negotiations would recur next year. The transcript does not show a board vote approving the agreement; it mentions a voting period beginning Monday and ending Wednesday, without clarifying the process. A motion to adjourn was moved and seconded. No procurement, vendor selection, or purchasing action was identified.
