Description:

The School Board and the Dawson-Boyd Education Association (DBEA) have reached agreement on the 2025-27 Master Agreement. This settlement reflects a shared commitment to valuing and investing in our teaching staff while maintaining the district’s long-term financial stability.

Highlights of Changes

  • Salary Schedule: Updated base salaries with step and lane adjustments to remain competitive and support teacher retention.

  • Health Insurance: District contributions increased to $910/month for single coverage and $1,360/month for family coverage, with proportional contributions for part-time staff

  • Additional Compensation: No changes were made to additional compensation structures in this agreement.

  • Leaves of Absence: Alignment with new state requirements, including Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) and Minnesota Paid Leave beginning January 1, 2026, with the cost of premiums shared equally (50/50) by the district and staff. The agreement also adds one additional personal day for teachers with 16+ years of service.

  • Workload Supports: Dedicated paperwork days for special education staff, social workers, and nurses, and a work-from-home preparation option for certified speech-language pathologists

  • 403(b) Matching Contributions: An additional $200 per year at all tenured tiers of the district’s 403(b) match.

This agreement represents an investment in our teaching staff—the people who make the greatest impact on Dawson-Boyd students each day. Competitive wages, stronger benefits, and workload supports demonstrate the district’s commitment to attracting and retaining high-quality educators.
