The Vincennes Community School Board has greenlit a 2-year contract for teachers, offering substantial salary increases. Teachers are set to receive a $4,000 raise for the current school year and an additional $2,000 for the following year. Moreover, the school board also gave the nod to the budget for the upcoming year. The budget estimate for 2024 stands at over $41.3 million, marking a $3 million increase from the current year. These augmentations encompass approximately $1 million for operations and just under $2 million for education. Although the advertised tax rate exceeds $1.27, it’s expected to settle at less than a dollar once the state finalizes the figures.
