The Geary USD 475 Board of Education has voted to ratify the teaching contract for the upcoming school year. It include an average increase in compensation of three percent, but individual raises will vary widely.
The base salary for a first-year teacher will total $47, 900.
The Junction City Education Association is expected to vote on the contract this week.
The Board also learned that there is only one teacher vacancy in the district right now. That is the early childhood teacher position at the high school.
