District moves collective-bargaining agreements for parapro and support staff to March ballot
Summary
The board presented Articles 5 and 6 to fund cost items in recently negotiated collective bargaining agreements for paraprofessionals/nutrition staff and educational support personnel; presenters urged approval and cautioned that altering dollar amounts would reopen negotiations.
Warrant Article 5 asked voters to approve cost items in the PAR educators and nutrition-workers collective-bargaining agreement (additional cost to taxpayers: $543,972 for 2026–27). Article 6 asked voters to approve the ORESPA support-staff contract (additional cost: $213,498 for 2026–27). The board emphasized that these articles fund negotiated cost items that replace expiring agreements and that altering figures at session could invalidate agreements and reopen bargaining.
Union representatives and affected employees spoke in support of their agreements, highlighting student supports and staff roles. The deliberative body did not amend the dollar amounts and both articles will appear on the March 10 ballot as presented.
