Summary
The Oregon City School District board on April 15 approved extensions to multiple collective bargaining and employment agreements, moving contract end dates into 2026 and approving a uniform salary increase for several employee groups.
Oregon City — The Oregon City School District Board of Education on April 15 approved extensions to multiple contracts — including agreements with unions and district employees — and approved a districtwide salary-schedule increase for the 2025–26 year.
The board voted to extend the memorandum of understanding with AFSCME Local 320 to 06/30/2026 (agenda text included an itemized percentage described in the agenda as "3.73 0.75 increase"), and to extend the Oregon City Federation of Teachers agreement to 07/31/2026 with a 3.75% increase to the teachers’ salary schedule. The board also approved extensions for administrative and nonunion employees that include a 3.75% increase to the salary/hourly schedules.
Why this matters: The approved extensions move current contracts forward by one year and lock in the pay adjustments included in each memorandum of understanding. The superintendent and board thanked staff and unions during the meeting and recorded roll-call votes approving the items.
