GILBOA-CONESVILLE — The Gilboa-Conesville Board of Education approved a new three-year teachers contract at a special meeting on Monday, Oct. 6.
According to information provided by District Superintendent Bonnie Johnson, the new deal for the Gilboa Faculty Association is retroactive to July 1, 2025 and runs through June 30, 2028. It covers all teachers, school counselors and school nurses in the district.
Johnson added that at this point she cannot provide details like specific annual salary increases in the new contract because the school board and the GFA are finalizing language and printed copies of the new contract should be available sometime in the next few weeks.
She did indicate that the new deal was certainly a welcome development.
"The GCCS BOE and the Gilboa Faculty Association agreed upon a contract that is fair and equitable," Johnson wrote in an email to this newspaper. "The agreement reflects a mutual respect for the vital work our educators do every day and acknowledges their commitment to providing quality education for our students.
"It also demonstrates the willingness of both parties to collaborate and find balanced solutions that support both teachers and the broader community. This contract is a positive step forward for our schools, our teachers, and, most importantly, our students."
In another action from the Oct. 6 special board meeting, the BOE approved some recommendations from the Committee on Special Education on modifications to Individual Education Plans.
