At its June 26 board meeting, the Cornwall Lebanon School District officially adopted a new four-year contract.

The CLSD Board of School Directors and the Cornwall-Lebanon Education Association (CLEA) jointly signed the collective bargaining agreement for the 2019-2020 through 2020-2023 school years.

Over the next four years, salaries will increase by 2.5% each year.

Healthcare coverage has also been revised with changes to annual deductibles and co-payments.

Members of the CLEA first voted to approve the contract June 17, 2019 after stages of negotiation headed by Greg Fulkerson, chief negotiator.

All agenda items for the June 26 meeting were approved 8-0, as one of nine board members was unable to attend.
