WCS  Board  of  Education  accepted  the  Teacher  
requested  Fact  Finder’s  Financial  Proposal  on  April  17,  
2017.  However,  the  WEA  (Teachers  Union)  still  refuse  to  
accept  this  recommendation!    
 
 
 

Although  the  WEA  requested  Fact  Finding,  there  is  still  no  acceptance  of  the  Fact  Finder’s  
Recommendation.  At  a  negotiations  meeting  held  on  Monday,  April  24th  the  teachers  refused  to  
accept  the  Fact  Finder’s  Recommendation.    At  this  point,  the  WEA  did  not  want  to  schedule  another  
negotiations  session.    
The  teachers  at  Waverly  Community  Schools  are  currently  the  highest  paid  teachers  in  all  of  Mid-­‐
Michigan.  With  the  addition  of  the  offer  listed  below,  the  teachers  assure  themselves  to  be  the  
highest  paid  for  the  next  three  years.    
These  are  the  financial  highlights  of  the  Fact  Finders  offer  that  was  accepted  by  the  Waverly  
Community  School’s  Board  of  Education  eleven  days  ago:    
1.  A  four-­‐year  contract    
2.  $2000  signing  bonus  for  all  teachers    
3.  ½  step  increase  annually  for  all  teachers  on  steps    
4.  The  full  allowable  State  Insurance  Cap    
5.  An  academic  achievement  bonus  (if  earned)  of  $2000/year  for  all  teachers    
6.  A  safe  harbor  provision  for  teachers  of  $1,500  or  ½  step  (depending  on  which  applies)  during  the  
fourth  year  if  they  did  not  earn  the  Academic  Achievement  Bonus  during  the  three  previous  years  
of  the  contract.    
 
The  Board  of  Education  remains  committed  to  the  successful  resolution  of  this  collective  bargaining  
agreement.  Media  inquiries  should  be  addressed  to  Waverly  Community  Schools  at  517-­‐319-­‐3040.
