(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education has approved a contract with the Falls City Education Association for the 2022-23 school year.
The new base salary will be $38-thousand which is an increase of $700 on the base schedule. The total package increase for the teaching faculty in the Falls City District will be 3.41 percent and is projected to increase total costs by $235-thousand. The figures take into account movement on the teacher salary schedule and the insurance premium increase, but do not account for resignations, retirements, staffing changes and new hires to be determined.
The Board also approved an engineering agreement with RDG Planning and Design for the high school athletic stadium turf replacement project.
The company will provide professional design and construction administration services for the project. An evaluation of the turf completed this past fall noted the hardness of the turf has continued to increase and is reaching points near the maximum impact threshold and range of compaction. In addition, the fiber length is shortening in areas and some seams have been identified as separating.
The artificial turf was installed in 2005.
