Board approves preliminary levy and teacher contract; routine agenda and consent items pass by voice vote
Summary
The New Prague Area Schools board approved the 2026 preliminary levy and a master agreement with the New Prague Education Association (teacher contract) by recorded 6-0 votes; the meeting also moved routine agenda and consent items by voice vote and adjourned after a unanimous voice vote.
At the New Prague Area Schools board meeting the board approved several formal items by voice vote and recorded roll-call counts where specified.
Key votes at a glance:
- 2026 preliminary levy (preliminary levy approval): Motion to approve the 2026 preliminary levy was moved and seconded and the board approved the motion by a recorded vote of 6-0. The preliminary levy as presented reflected a decrease of 1.08% from last year's certified levy pending final MDE calculations and did not include any increase that would result from the referendum if it passes.
- Master agreement with the New Prague Education Association (teacher contract): The board approved the master agreement with the New Prague Education Association by a recorded vote of 6-0. The administration noted the associations membership ratified the agreement by roughly an 80%-20% margin.
- Approval of agenda and approval of consent agenda: Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no numeric roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript and the chair declared the items passed.
- Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and passed by unanimous voice vote; the transcript recorded the closing result as 6-0.
Each of these approvals was procedural and reflected either routine board housekeeping (agenda and consent) or the specific actions above (preliminary levy and master agreement).
