Board members moved to approve the bargaining agreement covering 2025 through 2029 and the motion passed by voice vote. The superintendent and bargaining committee representatives thanked negotiators — Dwayne, Don and Claudia — for multiple nights of bargaining and said the parties reached agreement on both language and dollars.
