Neshaminy School Board approves one‑year teachers’ contract, temporarily suspends policy for MOUs
Summary
The Neshaminy School District board voted 8‑0 to approve a one‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Neshaminy Federation of Teachers for 07/01/2024–06/30/2025, including a salary increase and three memoranda of understanding; the board also approved a temporary suspension of Board Policy 012 to allow the MOUs to extend beyond the contract term.
The Neshaminy School District board unanimously approved a one‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Neshaminy Federation of Teachers covering 07/01/2024 through 06/30/2025, including a one‑year salary increase and three memoranda of understanding (MOUs), the board heard.
A presenter outlined the agreement and related MOUs, saying the district and NFT had reached a tentative agreement that "includes a 1 year salary increase in accordance with the applicable salary step increases" and that the MOUs address elementary preparation time, a transfer back to the bargaining unit for a specific employee and prescription coverage options for certain employees. The presenter said the board would approve a "limited and temporary suspension" of Board Policy 012 so the MOUs could extend beyond the one‑year collective bargaining term, provided the suspension did not conflict with legal requirements and the final language was mutually agreed by both parties.
The motion to approve the collective bargaining agreement and the related MOUs was moved and seconded; the board voted 8‑0 to approve the motion. The board statement recorded that execution of the agreement would be "conditioned upon mutual agreement on language" for the collective bargaining agreement and MOUs.
Board materials on the motion referenced Board Policy 012 and cited authority under Board Policy 003 to permit temporary suspensions of district policy, subject to legal limits. The motion noted several attached documents and MOUs; specific employee identifiers listed in the transcript were unclear or garbled, and the district materials should be consulted for exact employee references and the full MOU language.
What happens next: The district administration and designated board officers were authorized to execute the agreement once the parties finalize the exact contract and MOU language. The transcript shows no public comment on the item and no amendments recorded during the vote.
