Summary

After mediation with the paraprofessionals union, the NRHEG board approved a contract described as about a nine percent total package over two years, including language updates for paid family medical leave and a small 403(b) match increase.

The NRHEG School District board approved a paraprofessionals collective‑bargaining agreement on March 16 after mediation between the negotiation committee and the paraprofessional union.

Administration and committee members reported the settlement landed in the roughly 9% total package range over two years (the union had sought higher), and included non‑salary language changes such as clarifications for paid family medical leave and jury‑duty/subpoena provisions. Presenters also noted a modest increase in the district matching contribution to employees’ 403(b) plan (approximately $50 per year in the package described).

A motion to approve the paraprofessionals contract carried on a voice vote. Board members who had been on the negotiation committee summarized the mediated compromise and invited questions; no further public comment or amendments were made at the meeting.

The contract is effective as approved; administration will implement negotiated language and update payroll/benefits processing.
