"While that does allow us to receive most of our state funding (although at a slow pace), many things have been left unresolved," Rodino wrote in an email. Bruce Rauner and leaders in the state legislature cut a deal late last month on a six-month stopgap spending plan following an entire year with no state budget. Rodino said the one-year extension allows the district time to monitor what happens next on the state level. The last contract between the district and its Teachers' Council was approved in 2012 for a four-year term and including a 2.67 percent salary adjustment over the course of the four years, in addition to "a wellness component to address future healthcare costs," according a joint statement from the council and District 202. The 0.8 percent increase amounts to roughly $200,000 in additional expenditures and represents just under 0.3 percent of the district's $72.4 million operating budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year, according to Mary Rodino, chief financial officer for District 202. The one-year extension, which will expire on June 30 of next year, includes a 0.8 percent increase in base salaries, a $275 one-time payment and a step increase if applicable. Evanston Township High School District 202 officials and members of the district's Teachers' Council have opted to extend a contract for the high school's educators for one year, citing uncertainty around the state budget and school funding in general.
