The Omaha Public Schools and the Omaha Education Association have agreed on a new employment contract that will make substantial changes to teacher salaries.

During Wednesday’s meeting, the OPS board unanimously approved the agreement, which will cover the 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years.

The district’s base salary will rise nearly $7,200 over the next three years to compensate teachers for the heavy burden of work they are currently experiencing, union officials said.

“This is a significant shift to the salary schedule,” said Molly Davies, chief negotiator for the Omaha Education Association.
