La Cañada Unified reaches tentative deal with teachers on salary increase
The La Cañada Unified School District has reached a tentative agreement with its teachers union, agreeing to pay a 4.25% salary increase retroactive to the beginning of this school year that will be applied to a new salary schedule taking effect July 1.
The restructured salary schedule includes an overall increase of 5.28% in teacher salary expenditures, according to a statement issued Wednesday by LCUSD Supt. Wendy Sinnette.
The highest earnable base salary will rise to $98,725 from the $90,720 outlined in the previous salary schedule.

The school board will be presented with the tentative agreement for ratification at its next regularly scheduled meeting June 14.
