Board approves 2025–28 Supervisory/Confidential MOA aligning benefits with certified staff
Summary
The Vernonia School Board approved the Supervisory/Confidential Memorandum of Agreement/Contract for 2025–2028, adding salary language for cost‑of‑living increases, aligning insurance benefits to the certified group via a 'me too' clause, and adding an affinity clause in leave provisions.
The board voted to approve the 2025–2028 Supervisory/Confidential Memorandum of Agreement presented in redline form. Superintendent Jim Helmen summarized changes including explicit salary language to reflect cost‑of‑living increases over the three‑year term, aligning insurance benefits with the certified employee group via a "me too" clause (so benefits track certified group changes), parity for Health Savings Account benefits, and an added affinity clause in vacation/leave language.
Javoss McGuire moved to approve the agreement and Amy Cieloha seconded; the motion passed unanimously with those in attendance. Helmen noted some duties language was revised to allow administrative flexibility and said the MOA language will adjust if certified bargaining unit changes.
