Board ratifies paraprofessionals and nurses contracts covering 2024–26
Summary
After closed‑session negotiations and mediation, the board approved collective bargaining agreements with the paraprofessionals and nurses units covering July 1, 2024–June 30, 2026.
The Farmington School Board approved two collective bargaining agreements at the meeting: a first‑time contract with the paraprofessionals unit and a successor agreement with the district’s nurses unit, both covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026.
Jess, the district representative handling negotiations, said the paraprofessionals contract was a first contract that required drafting foundational language and that mediation helped reach a settlement. Board members noted they had discussed details during closed session. The motion to approve the paraprofessionals agreement was moved by Gorman and seconded by Jezierski; the board affirmed the motion by voice vote.
The board then approved the nurses’ agreement; Jess said the district and nursing negotiators completed this agreement earlier than other rounds. Motion to approve was moved by Gorman and seconded by Storley (recorded in the transcript as Sorley). The board approved by voice vote.
No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the public transcript; in both cases the chair called for an aye/no voice vote and the board answered in the affirmative.
