The Prince George's County Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 5 to ratify the FY2026–FY2028 negotiated agreement with the Prince George's County Educators Association at a special meeting.

Dr. Joseph, the meeting presenter, recommended board approval, saying, "It is my honor to recommend that the board of education approve the ratification of the FY2026 through FY2028 negotiated agreement between the Prince George's County Educators Association and the Prince George's County Board of Education." The board adopted the item by roll call and recorded eight affirmative votes.

The ratification was presented as consent agenda item 5.1. There was no public comment recorded for the meeting. Several county leaders attended the session and offered remarks praising collaboration between the county government and the school system. The county executive (unnamed in the transcript) said, "This is the best board and superintendent that I've ever seen. And I been around," and thanked board members and district employees for their work.

Chairman Brandon Jackson convened the meeting and recognized Dr. Joseph to present the recommendation for approval. After the recommendation, the board proceeded to a roll-call vote; the chairman announced the result as eight affirmative votes. The meeting record indicates a signing of the ratified agreement took place immediately following the vote.

The transcript does not include terms of the agreement (such as compensation, salary schedules, or funding sources) nor does it record a mover or seconder for the motion; those specifics were not specified in the public portion of the meeting record. The board noted no additional business and adjourned the special meeting shortly after the vote.
