Wayzata Public Schools presents three-year contract terms with SEIU Local 284; board packet recommends approval
Summary
The board packet presents a tentative three-year contract (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2027) with SEIU Local 284 for administrative professionals and paraprofessionals, citing a union ratification Aug. 26, 2024 and package changes including a $20 minimum starting wage and phased percentage increases. The transcript records the recommended action but no board vote.
The Board of Education of Wayzata Public Schools received a recommended action to approve a three-year contract with the Administrative Professional and Paraprofessional bargaining unit, SEIU Local 284, covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. The packet states a tentative agreement was reached July 10, 2024, and the bargaining unit ratified the contract on Aug. 26, 2024.
In a summary included with the packet, Ms. Vos described negotiated changes that include restructuring the salary schedule and ensuring a $20 minimum starting wage in year one; additional negotiated “new money” of 1% in year two and 2% in year three; increases in the number of paid holidays for hourly employees; and increased district contributions toward health insurance for nine‑month paraprofessionals. The packet quantifies the overall package as 12.166% and lists the bargaining teams on both sides. Ms. Vos said, “It was a pleasure negotiating with the team of Administrative Professional and Paraprofessional representatives. I believe the end result is a solid contract that meets their needs and recognizes the value they attribute to our work environment.”
The agenda materials recommend formal board approval; however, the transcript provided contains the recommended action and the motion template but does not record a motion, the mover or seconder, nor any vote tally. The packet thus documents the negotiated agreement and related policy language, while the meeting record here does not show whether the board took the formal vote to adopt the contract at this session. The SEIU Local 284 ratification on Aug. 26, 2024 is recorded in the packet as the union-side approval.
