After executive‑session updates, the Taos Municipal Schools Board voted to approve the 2025–26 negotiated contract with the teachers’ bargaining unit.
The Taos Municipal Schools Board of Education approved the district’s negotiated 2025–26 collective bargaining agreement with the teachers’ unit on June 18 following an executive‑session update.
Superintendent Antonio Layton recommended board approval of the agreement and the board voted in favor. The school board held an executive‑session update on bargaining status earlier in the meeting but made no additional public amendments to the contract that night.
District officials said the agreement will be executed and implemented for the 2025–26 school year; specific financial terms and implementation steps were discussed with negotiators and the superintendent but were presented to board members in closed session.
Board president Mark Flores read the public motion and the board approved the agreement by roll call.
District staff will bring the final signed contract and ratification documents to the board for public record and implementation steps, including payroll adjustments and notices to affected employees.
