The group of 715 support staff includes bus drivers, hall monitors, teaching assistants, custodians, cafeteria workers, secretaries, computer technicians and other part-time support staff.

The contract provides an annual increase of 4 percent, and employees will have to contribute more toward their health insurance coverage.

“We are pleased with the contract,” Elizabeth Moyer, president of PESPA, stated. “It is a reflection of the cooperative working environment that our association has with the district as it addresses the concerns of all.”
