HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven USD 312 School Board gave approval to the new collective bargaining agreement with its teachers during Monday night’s meeting.

The new agreement provides an increase in base pay for teachers from $34,877 to $35,986. It also includes a six percent increase in insurance that will be picked up by the district. It also increases the school calendar days from 177 to 180.

The board was also reorganized last night. However, Bryce Mattison kept his position as board president and Bill Royer is still the vice president.

The board set a date of Aug. 13 for the public hearing on the 2018-19 budget.
