SCHOHARIE - Non-teachers at Schoharie Central School have a new four-year contract.

Schoharie school board members approved a new deal through 2029 at their March 20 board meeting. 

The duration of the SCEA Contract is four years: July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2029, according to SCS business administrator David Baroody.

Under the new agreement, there are pay raises across all titles in the first year of the deal ranging from four percent to eight percent (on step), Mr. Baroody said. In years two to four of the agreement, all titles (on step) received a four percent increase per year.
