Brenda Albrecht presented two tentative collective‑bargaining settlements and recommended board approval. For the non‑licensed educators (2023–25) she summarized key terms: a $1.10 per hour wage increase in year one and an additional $1.10 per hour in year two, increased longevity pay and the addition of Juneteenth as a paid holiday; Albrecht said the package cost was within board parameters at about 9.72 percent.

For the LEAF union (2023–25) Albrecht said the settlement included 2 percent wage increases in each year of the contract (retroactive to July 1, 2023, for active and retired employees), added longevity steps (year 5, 10, 15, 20, 25), increased 403(b) contributions, and clarified language on school closings and flex learning days to reflect recent statute; she stated the total package cost was within board parameters (transcript cited 9.56 percent).

Director David Anderson moved to approve the non‑licensed educators contract and Director Lind seconded; the board approved by voice vote. Director Carly Anderson moved to approve the LEAF union settlement and Director David Anderson seconded; the board approved by voice vote. Board members asked clarifying questions about retroactivity, longevity language and budget impact; staff said both settlements fit within the parameters previously approved by the board and that implementation and cost details will be reflected in budget updates.
