Bus drivers’ memorandum of agreement tentatively reached and ratified; board to ratify at upcoming meeting
Summary
The board’s negotiations committee reported a tentative memorandum of agreement with the Bus Drivers Association; negotiators said the association ratified the contract and the district will present the board with a ratification vote at a future meeting.
The Rockaway Township Board of Education’s negotiations committee reported that negotiators reached a tentative memorandum of agreement with the Bus Drivers Association for an upcoming contract cycle and that the association has ratified the deal.
What was reported: Committee members said the tentative memorandum was reached in good faith and that the Bus Drivers Association membership has ratified the agreement. The board’s votes to ratify the agreement will occur at a future public meeting, the negotiations chair said.
Why it matters: Bus driver contracts affect transportation costs, service continuity and daily operations for students. The negotiation outcome reduces the risk of service disruption and signals agreement between the district and the drivers’ representatives.
Board action pending: The negotiation team will bring the ratified memorandum to the full board for formal ratification at an upcoming meeting; the negotiations chair thanked both teams for their work.
Public records: The board will include the memorandum and a formal ratification motion on an upcoming agenda for a recorded roll‑call vote.
