As the Summit School District Board of Education prepares for an election in November, a representative from the Colorado Association of School Boards spoke with members about their role and what new candidates could expect should they be elected.
During the board meeting Tuesday, July 27, Matt Cook, director of public policy and advocacy for the Colorado Association of School Boards, said that prospective board members might be concerned about a lack of experience or knowledge around education. But he said that shouldn’t be a deterrent.
“Obviously you can’t understand and be an expert in every facet of an organization the size of a school district,” Cook said. “What the board does need to do, though, is be able to understand their role; understand the needs, wants, desires of the community and then ultimately … we want students to be successful.”
, which will be effective Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, 2024.
The contract negotiating team consisted of teachers, district human resources staff, other administrative staff, the school board president and a representative from Ski Country UniServ, which is a local affiliate of the Colorado Education Association.
Chief Finance Officer Kara Drake led the negotiations team and presented the major changes in the contract to the school board for approval at its June 17 meeting.
Drake said the contract was ratified by membership of the teachers union, and the negotiating team met seven or eight times to work through the details of the contract.
The biggest change for teachers comes in their salary, as a two-year plan was outlined to get the starting salary to $50,000. Base salaries for the upcoming school years will increase from $44,530 to $48,500. Discussions regarding salary for the 2023-24 school year will be reopened and finalized closer to the start of that year.
