Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) administrators have overwhelmingly ratified a 3-year contract that will provide more than 2,600 school principals and administrators with 6.64 percent pay raises, according to their president.

The Associated Administrators of Los Angeles approved the draft agreement Wednesday by a margin of 89.7 percent to 10.3 percent, its president, Judith Perez, told the Los Angeles Daily News.

The deal will send administrators an immediate, lump-sum bonus equal to 2 percent of their salary, and within the next 23 months, raises will increase their base pay by a total of 6.64 percent, including, a 2 percent bump dated back to July 1, another 2 percent increase set for next year and, finally, a 2.5 percent hike to be applied July 1, 2016, the Daily News reported.

Perez said the deal provides for the first across-the-board raise for administrators in seven years. On average, administrators earn $102,979 per year in salary and cost the district an additional $31,891 per employee for health care and pension benefits — a total compensation package of $134,870, according to LAUSD figures cited by the Daily news.

LAUSD officials estimate the pay bumps and benefits for administrators will cost an extra $20.7 million per year once the contract takes full effect in fiscal year 2016-17. However, the 2 percent and 2.5 percent pay raises set for 2015 and 2016, respectively, are contingent on the district being able to afford them.

Superintendent John Deasy has said the district may need to scale back plans on programs targeted for expansion, but he’s confident the district will hold up its end of the labor agreement, according to the newspaper.

Aside from pay raises, the contract will also add 50 assistant principals to the district’s neediest elementary schools.
