Paraprofessional/Secretary: 9/13/24 Negotiation Summary

Summary of Current Proposals

The Association for the Secretarial/Clerical and Paraprofessional Employees and the District have entered negotiations around a 2 year contract. Bemidji Area Schools received a two year state aid increase of 6%, this breaks down as a 4% increase in the 2023-2024 school year and 2% increase in the 2024-2025 school year. The latest Association proposal (Sept. 13, 2024) represents a 15.65% increase over two years. This is well outside of the district’s ability to pay. Both parties will continue to negotiate in good faith until a proposed settlement can be reached that fits into the district’s ability to pay.
