Coos Bay School Board approves three-year contract with OSEA for 2025–2028
Summary
The Coos Bay SD 9 Board voted unanimously to approve a collective bargaining agreement with the Oregon School Employees Association covering the 2025–2028 contract period after a brief public acknowledgment from board members and staff.
The Coos Bay School District Board of Directors voted to approve a collective bargaining agreement with the Oregon School Employees Association (OSEA) covering the 2025–2028 school years.
The motion to approve the agreement was made during the board’s open meeting after the board returned from an executive session held “pursuant to ORS 192.660,” which the chair cited as the legal basis for labor-negotiation deliberations. Board member Arnie moved the approval; the motion was seconded and then put to a roll-call vote. Diane, Mabey, Arnie, Kevin, Derek, Kim and the chair recorded aye votes and the motion carried.
Why it matters: approving the bargaining agreement settles the district’s labor contract with represented employees for the next three school years and sets compensation, working conditions and other terms that will govern relationships between the district and classified staff through the 2027–28 school year.
Board recognition and next steps Board members offered a brief public thanks to staff who participated in negotiations. Arnie said, “I wanted to say, thank you to Brie for all of her time spent, away from her family as well during negotiations.” The board chair said the district will finalize and sign a clean copy of the agreement with district staff once the document is assembled.
The board did not read contract terms aloud during the motion; staff indicated that the finalized agreement will be executed by district officials and a signed copy will be maintained by administration.
Votes at the meeting The board recorded a formal vote to approve the OSEA bargaining agreement. The motion passed and the board noted that the contract will be formalized in the coming days.
What the meeting record does not say The board and staff did not read or summarize specific monetary figures or specific contract provisions during the public motion and vote. Those details were not provided in the meeting transcript and therefore are not reported here.
