ADRIAN — Wage agreements with three collective bargaining groups were ratified at the Adrian school board’s May 12 meeting.

Members of the Adrian Administrators Association, which represents principals and other building administrators, will see a 2% increase in their salary schedule in the coming school year, and employees who are eligible for step increases will receive those as well.

Building administrative assistants will see a 2% increase in their pay schedule and will also receive a $500 off-schedule stipend before June 30 of this year.

Members of the International Union of Operating Engineers, which represents maintenance staff, will also see a 2% increase in their pay schedule plus a $500 off-schedule stipend.

Superintendent Nate Parker said the off-schedule stipends reflect the fact that Adrian Public Schools wants to take care of its employees and that the district is in a good enough financial position this year to be able to offer that additional pay. Making it a one-time stipend to be paid before June 30 means it will affect the current fiscal year and will not represent an additional commitment going into the new fiscal year, which holds some uncertainties.
