Darien Board amends agenda and unanimously approves three labor contracts through 2029
Summary
After amending the agenda to add recently ratified agreements, the Darien Board of Education unanimously approved new contract agreements for paraprofessionals/campus monitors, secretaries, and registered nurses covering July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029.
The Darien Board of Education on June 9 moved to amend its agenda to add three recently ratified labor agreements and then unanimously approved each contract. The amendment to add the Paraprofessional Instructional Aids & Campus Monitors Union Contract, the Secretaries Union Contract, and the Registered Nurses Association contract passed without dissent.
Following the amendment, the board took individual votes to approve each agreement for the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. Each motion was called, seconded as recorded in the minutes, and the chair announced the vote as unanimous.
Board procedure: the contracts were added because they were ratified by the bargaining units after the agenda was published; the board discussed opening the floor for questions about the ratification process and confirmed that the items had been reviewed with the board in prior weeks.
What changed: The approved motions place the three agreements on the district’s official contract schedule for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029. Specific salary scales, budgetary impacts and implementation details were not read into the record at the June 9 meeting; the board noted the contracts had been reviewed previously.
What happens next: With the votes complete, the agreements will be incorporated into the district’s personnel and budget planning. Board members asked clarifying questions later in the meeting about personnel FTE adjustments and field‑trip scholarships, but those items were handled under the consent agenda.
