Taken from the June 2024 Memorandum of Understanding that folded registered nurses into the WSEA bargaining unit; the MOU reprints every year of the 2022-2027 salary schedule with an added RN column. The six non-RN columns are identical to Appendix C-6 of the posted CBA (DIGITAL-WestShoreSD-CBA-2022-2027.pdf).
The grid also carries a 'From Top' column counting 17 down to 1 and then 'Top'; step 18 is the 'Top' step.
Section 8.06 caps the work year at 191 days; first-year employees add a four-day orientation at no additional pay.
The RN column was set at 95% of Bachelors step 1 with $1,000 per step; an RN who earns a school nurse certificate moves to the Bachelors column.
