"CCSD's New Teacher Contract Proposal: Higher Pay and Clarifications"

The Clark County School District (CCSD) in Las Vegas has offered an 8.5% raise in the first year and a 2% raise in the second year of teacher contracts, as negotiations continue with the Clark County Education Association. The district's proposal aims to realign teacher salaries based on experience and education, with starting salaries at $53,354 and a cap of $116,851. The union is pushing for a 10% raise in the first year and 8% in the second year, emphasizing the need to address teacher vacancies and recruitment challenges. Disagreements also persist regarding the allocation of $250 million in funding recently pledged to the district.
