The Coatesville Area School District board on June 23 approved a collective bargaining agreement with the Coatesville Area Federation of Educational Employees covering custodians, food service workers and trade professionals for the term July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.
Board members moved, seconded and approved the agreement on a roll‑call vote. During discussion the board president said the federation membership ratified the proposed contract with 100% of the vote and thanked negotiators on both sides for a collaborative process. The superintendent and board members framed the agreement as intended to strengthen the district’s ability to attract and retain in‑house skilled staff rather than relying on contractors.
The superintendent thanked members of the negotiating teams and highlighted that the agreement restores some benefits and recognizes those roles as professionals. The board authorized the board president and board secretary to execute the agreement on behalf of the district.
The meeting record did not include the contract’s specific dollar amounts or precise changes in benefits; the board noted those details were part of the negotiated agreement presented to directors.
