(Grand Forks Herald photo) The Grand Forks School Board on Monday, May 24, approved the teacher-negotiated contract agreement for the next two school years and also the selection of JLG Architects to design the proposed K-8 campus and two other local architectural firms to carry out other facilities projects, if voters approve an $86 million bond referendum election next month. The board approved the teacher contract, which for year one calls for a 0.5% increase in each cell of steps for experience and lanes for academic credits earned, and a 0.75% increase in each cell for year two. The increases amount to $1.156 million for the 2021-22 school year and $1.316 for the '22-23 school year, for a total two-year cost of $2.472 million.
