Lindbergh Teachers Due a Pay Hike Over Next Two Years
Thanks to Prop L funds, it's a 2.8 percent raise.
Lindbergh School District's Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to give a 2.8 percent salary increase to teachers, averaged over the next two years.
Per a request by the teachers' union LNEA, teachers will receive a bigger pay increase the first year, and the remainder the following year.
Board President Dr. Vic Lenz said Tuesday negotiations between the district and teachers’ union went “beautifully,” but he worried the district’s salary scale put it at a disadvantage in attracting the best teachers.
