Board approves multiple labor agreements and 3% wage packages for 2025–26
Summary
The Davenport Community School District board voted unanimously to approve tentative agreements with multiple bargaining units and to adopt 3% wage increases for non‑bargaining and administrative groups.
The Davenport Community School District board approved a series of tentative collective bargaining agreements and salary packages in a single meeting, the board announced during its regular session.
Director Potts moved approval of tentative agreements ratified by each bargaining unit: maintenance employees (wage reopener covering 07/30/26), AFSCME food and nutrition services (contract through 06/30/28), AFSCME paraeducators (07/01/25–06/30/28), AFSCME custodial/security/warehouse (07/01/25–06/30/28), and the Davenport Education Association (teachers, 07/01/25–06/30/28). Each motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the minutes record the motions as carried.
Separately the board approved a 3% wage package for three non‑bargaining groups for the 2025–26 fiscal year: non‑bargaining employees, administrators, and cabinet administrators. Those motions were also moved by Director Potts, seconded, and carried by voice vote.
The board also approved the consent agenda by motion earlier in the meeting; the consent agenda included routine items and a bill listing. During questions on the bill listing a board member requested future bills include project detail for large contractors; the district staff said they will provide project breakdowns where applicable.
All motions at the meeting were carried by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript does not capture an itemized roll‑call tally for each motion.
