Hope‑Page school negotiators set ground rules, schedule next bargaining session
Summary
The Hope‑Page Public School District 85 finance/negotiations committee set ground rules and an April 16 deadline for contract talks, heard proposals from the Hope‑Page Education Association and the School Board, and scheduled the next bargaining session for April 8.
The Hope‑Page Public School District 85 finance and negotiations committee met April 3, 2025, at Hope‑Page Elementary School and established ground rules for ongoing contract negotiations, setting a final deadline of April 16 to conclude bargaining. The committee also heard a proposal from the Hope‑Page Education Association (HPEA) and a separate proposal from the School Board and set a follow-up meeting for April 8 at 4:15 p.m. in Page.
The meeting opened at 4:00 p.m., and the minutes list attendees as Jeri Anne Larck, Luke Juliuson, Janee Brendemuhl, Hannah Erickson, Angel Lindseth, and Alli Roller, with Jonah Wolla, Darcie Besette, Austin Dvirnak and Heidi Kingston also present. The minutes do not record full text of the proposals or a formal motion or vote during this session.
According to the minutes, the committee explicitly "set ground rules for the negotiations process" and fixed April 16, 2025 as the final deadline for completing negotiations. Both the HPEA and the School Board presented their respective proposals during the meeting; the minutes note those presentations occurred but do not include the proposals' specific terms or monetary figures.
The committee scheduled a continuing negotiations session for Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 4:15 p.m. in Page to review the HPEA and School Board proposals. The minutes record that the committee reviewed the HPEA proposal during this meeting in preparation for that April 8 session. The meeting adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
No votes, amendments, or formal actions beyond scheduling and setting a deadline are recorded in these minutes. Any substantive bargaining details or proposed contract language were not included in the minutes provided and therefore are not described here.
