Including wages and benefits, the district placed the total increase for its proposed package at 1.31 percent, compared to the union's opening proposal of 5.98 percent.Â

The district said all in all, the total package increase would amount to 1.78 percent. Teachers have sought an increase of 4.15 percent.
Base pay for teachers is now $36,136, after rising from the prior year amount of $35,760. The union is also seeking an increase in longevity pay by $300.
