Hawaii Teacher Salaries Won’t Change If New Contract Is Approved … The Hawaii State Teachers Association has reached a preliminary agreement with state officials on a new contract for the next two years, but it still must be approved by members.
Public school teachers are voting this week on a tentative new contract that would mean neither raises nor cuts to their base salaries following months of negotiations that were complicated by the pandemic and the state’s financial woes.
The Hawaii State Teachers Association reached agreement with state officials on May 22 on a proposed contract that would cover the period from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 since the current one expires at the end of this month. The deal must be ratified by at least 50%, plus one, of the union’s 13,500 teacher member base. Voting by electronic ballot is underway and will close on June 9.
