The Ball Chatham CUSD 5 Board of Education approved a 2025–2028 contract with the Ball Chatham Education Support Professionals Association at a special meeting. The vote followed board discussion and a roll call in which members voiced support.
Board members and district staff praised the bargaining process. “I thought negotiations went extremely well. Very respectful,” an unidentified board member said, adding that union leadership and district staff gave the board the information needed to make a financially responsible decision.
The board moved from the agenda item into a roll-call vote; members recorded “yes” responses during the roll call. The board did not record any “no” votes or abstentions in the meeting transcript.
The contract covers the 2025–2028 school years and was presented as the administration’s recommendation. District staff mentioned the union leadership’s role in listening to membership and said the agreement balanced support for employees with fiscal responsibility.
The board did not provide additional contract details in the public portion of the meeting, and the transcript does not specify financial terms or benefit changes. The administration said related administrator contracts will be published later on the June 25 board agenda.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
