The very dedicated and hard-working paraprofessionals and ABA tech in Hopkinton School District ratified their new contract yesterday and it was passed by the School Committee. With more than ⅔ of the unit showing up to vote, this was a resounding success!

The new contract includes an entire wage scale reorganization, additional wage grid step increases, 28% increase over the 3-year contract, an additional milestone incentive for senior employees ranging from $1,500 to $2,000, a longevity increase, and many other gains.

Congratulations to everyone involved!
