Board ratifies successor labor agreements, approves salary schedules and CTE certificate
Summary
The board approved successor collective bargaining agreements with public school employees and extracurricular staff, ratified salary schedules for nonrepresented leaders and directors, and approved a conditional CTE certificate for 2025–26.
At the June meeting the Orting School District Board approved multiple personnel and labor items, including ratified successor collective bargaining agreements, annual salary schedules for nonrepresented administrators and directors, and a CTE conditional certificate for the 2025–26 school year.
Collective bargaining agreements: the board approved a successor collective bargaining agreement with Public School Employees (PSE/PSC) that the district said was negotiated in four sessions and ratified by membership; staff recommended approval of the tentative agreement covering the 2025–2028 contract period, effective Sept. 1, 2025. The board also approved a separate successor agreement with the district’s extracurricular association (OICSA), covering an effective period shown in the agreement (district materials stated the agreement runs Aug. 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028). Both agreements were presented as aligning with board-approved bargaining parameters and were described as ratified by strong membership votes prior to board action.
Salary schedules and certificates: the board approved the 2025–26 nonrepresented salary schedule (effective Sept. 1, 2025) and a director/executive director salary schedule (effective July 1, 2025). Board members also approved staff recommendation to request issuance of a new CTE conditional certificate from OSPI for the 2025–26 school year.
Votes and process: each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote (all in favor) and will be reflected in contract documents and payroll processes. The board thanked bargaining teams and human-resources staff for collaborative negotiations that concluded with ratification by union membership before the board voted to adopt the agreements.
What to expect next: HR staff will finalize agreement language in district records, implement changes in payroll and post final documents; district communications said parties will continue collaborative work during the contract periods.
