The Franklin Lakes Board of Education on Sept. 24 ratified a four‑year collective negotiations agreement with the Franklin Lakes Education Association covering the 2024–2028 school years.
The resolution, presented by the Board’s negotiations committee, approves the successor collective negotiations agreement (CNA) and authorizes Board President Ari Donio and Business Administrator/Board Secretary Dina Messery to sign the agreement on behalf of the board. The board recorded the motion as passed after a roll‑call process conducted during the meeting.
Ryan Richman, board member, thanked the Negotiations Committee and the Teacher’s Union for their work in reaching the agreement. No specific financial terms were listed in the minutes; the ratification was recorded as annexed to Resolution No. 1365 and made part of the meeting record.
Board members said the agreement was ratified by a majority of FLEA membership prior to the board vote; the minutes note that the FLEA membership ratified the CNA. The board’s action completes the local approvals required to finalize the contract and triggers the administrative signature and execution steps authorized in the adopted resolution.
The board did not provide detailed line‑item salary or step increases in the public minutes; those details are recorded in the CNA document annexed to the resolution. The board noted the ratification as a procedural item and moved on to remaining agenda business.
