Some Helena teachers could be getting a pay raise. East Helena Public Schools and the East Helena Education Support Association (EHESA) signed a memorandum of agreement to raise the basic compensation rate for classified staff. East Helena participates in a budget survey with other Class A schools of similar size around Montana to compare their pay rates. From this, East Helena and EHESA determined that an across-the-board pay adjustment was warranted to attract new candidates and focus on retention. These pay adjustments led to the parties extending the deadline for the collective bargaining agreement to June 30, 2024, in the MOA.
