Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Regional School District 12 board ratified a three-year educators’ contract, approved an updated family-and-medical-leave policy on second reading, and authorized unaffiliated staff pay increases for the 2026–27 budget. Key votes were taken after an executive session on labor negotiations.
Regional School District 12’s board on Jan. 12 ratified a new contract with the Chipog Valley Educators Association, approved an updated family-and-medical-leave policy and authorized unaffiliated staff pay increases for the 2026–27 budget.
A board member moved “to ratify the Chipog Valley Educators Association Union Agreement dated July 1, 2026 through June 30th, 2029,” and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The agreement was presented after the board met in executive session to discuss labor negotiations.
The board also approved on a second reading an update to policy 515/4152.6 to align district practices with current Connecticut statute and to extend certain leave benefits to non‑certified staff. A board member moved to approve the policy and the board adopted it by voice vote.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved a motion to implement unaffiliated staff pay increases for the 2026–27 budget; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The meeting record shows votes were conducted by voice; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the public transcript. The board announced these actions at the end of its business after executive session.
What happens next: The contract will govern the bargaining unit through June 30, 2029. The updated FMLA‑aligned policy will take effect according to the district’s policy implementation procedures; the board did not specify an effective date in the public discussion.
