Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Public Schools and the Jamestown School Board each indicate progress in continued contract negotiations.

The administrators are negotiating for a one-year term with a second-year contract preferred.

The approximately 12 positions affected include elementary, middle and high school principals, assistant principals, activities directors and technology directors.

School Board President, Roger Haut, said Wednesday’s session, was “give and take.”

Negotiations ended with disagreement over a base salary increase agreement. Another negotiation meeting is scheduled August 5, 2015.

The School Board and the teachers through the Jamestown Education Association adopted a new teacher salary structure that increased the base for entry level educators to $39,635 in 2016 and $41,485 in 2017. It also included pay increases for non-teaching professionals and support staff which was all reflected in a two-year master agreement adopted by the school board on July 20.
