Board approves Education Association contract and names Education Foundation executive director
Summary
The board unanimously approved a multi‑year contract with the Elizabethtown Area Education Association and accepted the Education Foundation's recommended hire for a hybrid executive director role that will support grant writing and district‑foundation coordination.
The board voted to ratify a five‑year contract with the Elizabethtown Area Education Association (EAEA) covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2030. Trustees said negotiations included solicitor review and multiple draft revisions; the contract passed by roll call vote.
Education Foundation hire and role The board also approved the Education Foundation's recommendation to hire an executive director (a hybrid foundation/district position). The incoming executive director will focus on coordinating grants and expanding foundation fundraising capacity; administration said the candidate would start in November if onboarding paperwork and background checks are completed.
Why it matters: the labor contract establishes pay, benefits and working‑condition terms for district teachers and staff represented by the union; the new foundation executive director is intended to broaden fundraising and grant capacity to support district programs.
What’s next: administration and the foundation will finalize hiring logistics and report back to the board on the executive director’s start date and initial priorities.
