Teachers and several nonunion employee groups are expected to receive a 1.5 percent wage hike in a new three-year contract, with teachers also expected to see sizable drops in their out-of-pocket medical premiums when Vacaville Unified leaders cast votes tonight during a special governing board meeting.

Tracy Begley, president of the 685-member Vacaville Teachers Association, confirmed the pay boost, which is retroactive to July 1.

The pay increase also will apply to some nonunionized employee groups, among them certificated administrators (principals), classified management (senior school-support employees) and confidential employees (those who manage confidential employee records and similar documents).
