The Regional School District 11 Board of Education voted unanimously Jan. 21 to approve and accept a Tentative Agreement with the Regional School District 11 Education Association for a successor collective bargaining agreement running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028.
Committee member Cassidy Martin moved to enter the motion to approve the tentative agreement; committee member Michael Smardon seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The board also delegated to the chair the authority to execute the final contract document on behalf of the board and directed Superintendent Andrew Skarzynski to coordinate with board counsel and file the final, executed contract as required by Connecticut General Statutes Section 10-153f. The minutes record that the board instructed the superintendent to "take all other action required to comply with said statute in order to finalize this successor contract."
Earlier in the meeting the board met in executive session to review and discuss documents and strategy related to negotiations and settlement of the teachers’ contract, citing Connecticut General Statutes Sections 1-200(6)(E) and 1-210(b)(9) and (b)(10) as the legal bases for the closed-session discussion. The board invited Superintendent Andrew Skarzynski, Finance Director Jobina Miller, and legal counsel Stephen Sedor into the executive session.
The public minutes do not disclose the substantive terms of the tentative agreement beyond the covered contract period and the board’s formal approval and delegation of execution and filing responsibilities. The meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m.
