What happened

On July 28 the board ratified the 2026-27 contract with the Kenosha Education Association with a 2.63% base wage increase, gave other staff the same raise, and added $1 an hour for special education aides (up to $500,000).

Why it matters to families

Staff pay is the largest part of the budget, and the raise adds to the deficit the district is trying to close.

The evidence

July 28, 2026 minutes record the motion as carried unanimously.
