The Milan Area School Board said it reached a tentative agreement with the Milan Education Association on teacher wages during mediation on Feb. 9; parties will meet Feb. 18 to finish remaining contract language before ratification by the bargaining unit and board.
The Milan Area School Board of Education announced that it and the Milan Education Association reached a tentative agreement on teacher wages during a mediation session held Friday, 02/09/2026, and said the wage terms will be applied retroactively. The board read a joint statement to the public at the start of its meeting.
The statement said the parties are scheduled to meet on Wednesday, Feb. 18, to address remaining contract language. "Once the parties reach agreement on all outstanding issues, the tentative agreements will be brought to the bargaining unit and the board of education for ratification," the board said in its read statement.
The board did not provide the wage figures or the full contract text during the public meeting. It described the mediation outcome as "successful" and thanked the Milan Education Association for its commitment to students and the community. No formal ratification vote occurred at this meeting.
Next steps the board described are: finalizing contract language at the Feb. 18 session, bargaining-unit ratification, and then a board ratification vote. The board later moved into a closed session for negotiation strategy; no votes on the contract were recorded following that closed session.
