With 205 teachers reported voting, the Greater Clark County School Board teachers voted to ratify a 3/4 of one percent pay raise that reportedly is retroactive to July of last year. Additionally, the contract will be voted on by the School Board at tonight’s meeting.

While the contract apparently does not address raises in 2010 / 2011, more negotiation on that issue will take place at that time.
