MSAD 11 board approves several bargaining‑unit contracts and signs agreements
Summary
The MSAD 11 school board met in executive session and subsequently approved multiple labor agreements — including a non‑instructional unit contract and extensions for custodians and education‑technical staff — voting unanimously on at least one contract and signing copies during the meeting.
After committee reports and public comment, the MSAD 11 board moved into several executive sessions to conclude bargaining-unit negotiations. The board first recessed to discuss contract negotiations under the cited statute and later voted to accept a non‑instructional contract "as written," with the roll-call voice vote reported as unanimous.
The board also considered and approved multi‑year extensions for custodial staff and for educational‑technical/administrative‑assistant bargaining units. During the meeting negotiators and district staff thanked outside assistance and bargaining‑team members; Melissa Steman (negotiation support) was publicly acknowledged for her role in the process. Signed copies of the agreements were exchanged and the board directed staff to finalize distributions of the executed documents.
No detailed salary schedules or dollar totals for each contract were read into the public record in the open session transcript presented; the motions were framed as contract approvals or extensions and recorded as approved by voice vote. The board characterized the process as transparent and celebrated completing multiple agreements in one meeting.
