Board approves three-year collaborative conferencing MOU with Murfreesboro Education Association
Summary
The Murfreesboro City School Board unanimously approved a three-year memorandum of understanding with the Murfreesboro Education Association under the Professional Educators Collaborative Conferencing Act covering association access, grievance procedures, salaries, work hours, duty-free lunch, and safety provisions.
The Murfreesboro City School Board voted Feb. 24 to approve a three-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached between district management and the Murfreesboro Education Association. Dr. Duke described the agreement as the product of more than a year of collaborative conferencing and said it addresses "association access, grievance procedures in line with board policy, salaries and wages, facility and safety, sick leave bank representation, teacher work hours, duty free lunch, and planning time," in accordance with state law.
Dr. Duke thanked the district and MEA teams for their work and named district negotiators and MEA representatives who participated in talks. The MOU was presented as effective for three years upon approval; the board moved, seconded and approved the agreement by voice vote.
Board members said the negotiated agreement reflects extensive work by both sides and thanked staff and association members for reaching the terms. The board did not place conditions on approval at the meeting; implementation steps and communication with affected staff were described as operational responsibilities for district leadership.
