AKRON — The Tippecanoe Valley School Board has taken its first step in approving its annual contract with the Tippecanoe Valley Classroom Teachers’ Association.

At a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 28, in the Tippecanoe Valley School Corp. Administration Office, the board had a public hearing for the contract. No one from the public spoke at it.

The agreement calls for teachers with bachelor’s degrees to have raises in a range of $400 to $1,200. Those with master’s degrees will have raises between $800 to $2,400.

The overall salary range goes from $44,175 to $80,650. Insurance costs for teachers will rise by 1%.

The TVSC Board will vote on the contract at a future meeting.
