Summary
The board was informed that a proposed MOU with Local 284 would add one additional in‑service day in August for paraprofessional staff in lieu of training during scheduled early‑out days; the MOU has been drafted and shared with union representatives, and no vote was recorded April 6.
The Pine River-Backus School Board reviewed a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the 2026–27 paraprofessional schedule at its April 6 meeting. According to the minutes, the MOU would add one additional in-service day in August for paraprofessional staff in exchange for moving training out of scheduled early-out days.
The minutes state the MOU has been drafted and shared with representatives of Local 284; there is no record in the minutes of a board vote or final action on the MOU during the April 6 meeting. The minutes do not include details of bargaining positions, timelines for ratification, or whether the change would affect pay, benefits or instructional schedules.
Next steps are not specified in the minutes; staff and Local 284 representatives will presumably continue negotiations or bring a ratified MOU back to the board for formal action.
