Teachers get a 2.63% base raise for 2026-27

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.
