Summary
The Plumsted Township Board of Education on Nov. 13 ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the Plumsted Township Education Association covering July 1, 2024–June 30, 2028; the motion passed with five yes votes, one abstention and one absence.
The Plumsted Township Board of Education voted Nov. 13 to ratify a four-year collective bargaining agreement with the Plumsted Township Education Association, retroactive to July 1, 2024 and running through June 30, 2028. The contract and its accompanying salary guides were approved and board representatives were authorized to execute the agreement.
The ratification was included in the personnel motions (B.1–B.18) approved at the meeting. After roll call, the motion carried with five yes votes, one abstention (Board Member Earl Meroney) and one absence (Mrs. Morgan). The minutes do not specify monetary terms or salary-step details in the public record presented at the meeting.
During the public-comment period, Kevin English, identified in the minutes as PTEA vice president, expressed gratitude to the board, superintendent and business administrator for their assistance during negotiations.
Board officials did not debate or summarize contract monetary terms in the minutes. The board’s approval authorizes district and union representatives to finalize and sign the agreement; the minutes record the board’s intent to ratify and execute the contract as part of the approved personnel package.
Next steps: the board authorized appropriate representatives to execute the ratified agreement and implementation will proceed per the contract and the district’s administrative processes.
