Negotiations continue between the Naperville CUSD 203 Board of Education and the Naperville Unit Education Association (NUEA) after offers were posted with the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board.
The issues remaining center on the use of family and parental leave, compensation for extra work, and salary. The board’s proposal, filed July 29 and posted August 10, would raise the average teacher salary to $89,064, and include an average salary increase of 3.6%; 40% of the teachers would receive at least a 4.0% increase and 72% would receive at least a 3.6% increase. The board is offering additional paid sick leave days and a higher cap on accumulated leave.
“The Board is committed to continuing negotiations with the NUEA throughout the public posting process and until a fair settlement is reached,” according to a statement on the district’s website.
The contract expired on June 30, 2021. The first day of student attendance is scheduled for August 19. Mediation sessions are scheduled for August 13, 17, and 18. With 1,100 teachers, Naperville CUSD 303 serves 16,500 students in 22 schools.
