Westbury board ratifies nurses’ contract after prolonged negotiations
Summary
The board ratified a negotiated contract with the district nurses’ bargaining unit; trustees voted unanimously to ratify the agreement after the superintendent said negotiations took two years.
The Westbury Union Free School District board voted unanimously to ratify a negotiated contract with the nurses’ bargaining unit during its meeting.
Board President Robert Traiano described the settlement as the product of a long negotiation and welcomed the nurses to the meeting for recognition. The motion to ratify the contract was made and seconded on the record; the minutes show the board recorded unanimous “aye” votes.
Trustees thanked nurses for their service and noted that some districts lack school nurses; the board said the contract reflects appreciation for the nurses’ role in student health and safety.
The meeting record does not include the contract’s financial terms or the negotiated length; board leadership said negotiations took two years but did not provide further details in public remarks.
