Print this story MICHAEL STRAND It took less than 15 minutes for representatives from the Salina School District and its teachers union to agree on a 1 percent pay increase Wednesday afternoon — almost two months after the two sides had ratified a contract for a 3.6 percent raise. The additional 1 percent was made possible, Superintendent Rob Winter said, because of an unexpectedly large reimbursement from the federal government, which for the 2007-08 school year changed the way it subsidizes special education. As a result, the district got some $360,000 more than expected. “When we were bargaining, those dollars weren’t there,” Winter said, referring to talks between the district and NEA-Salina that wrapped up in mid-May.
