Board approves collective bargaining agreement and authorizes tax warrant

At its June 8 meeting the White Plains City School District Board of Education approved several formal action items, including ratification of a memorandum of agreement with the district’s bargaining unit, authorization of the 2026–2027 tax warrant, authorization for named counsel to file appeals in a civil case, and the establishment/abolishment of certain positions effective July 1, 2026.

The board approved and ratified a memorandum of agreement and authorized the superintendent to execute a collective bargaining agreement effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. A board member thanked the negotiations committee and the White Plains Teachers Association for their work in securing what the speaker described as an "equitable and sustainable successor agreement." The transcript records the motion, a second and the board answering 'all in favor.' Individual vote tallies were not provided in the meeting record.

The board also authorized the 2026–2027 tax warrant, a procedural action enabling the district to collect school taxes. Separately, the board authorized counsel Keenan Bean and Moroni Okconor to file required appeals in connection with civil litigation listed as index number 63833/2023.

On personnel, the board approved recommendations to establish or abolish positions effective July 1, 2026; board members emphasized that the action was not intended to eliminate any current employee roles but to align titles and functions for stewardship of district finances.

Finally, the board adopted several policies (nos. 9520, 9320, 9320-R and 8130) following prior first readings. The transcript shows committee members moved and seconded the adoptions and recorded them as approved. The meeting transcript does not list specific roll-call vote counts for these items.
