Summary
The district presented a recommended three-year contract with the Wayzata Cafés bargaining unit (SEIU Local 284) covering July 1, 2024–June 30, 2027, including wage increases of 5% (year 1), 4% (year 2) and 5% (year 3) and a reported overall package of 12.065%. The board packet asked the board to approve the contract; no board vote is recorded in the transcript.
The board packet presented on Sept. 9, 2024 requested approval of a tentative three-year contract between Wayzata Public Schools and the Wayzata Cafés bargaining unit, represented by SEIU Local 284. The recommended contract period runs July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027, and the packet notes the bargaining teams reached tentative agreement on July 17, 2024, and that Wayzata Cafés ratified the agreement on Sept. 4, 2024.
The packet summarizes key economic and administrative provisions. It lists wage increases of 5% in year one, 4% in year two and 5% in year three, and an overall package described as 12.065%. The agreement includes classification-specific rates (for example, a Food Service Worker rate shown in the packet and differential pay for high-volume kitchens), certification- and longevity-based supplements, a uniform allowance, and an MOU creating a voluntary sick leave bank. The packet also includes detailed provisions on overtime, call-in/call-back pay, and requirements for School Nutrition Association certification and professional development funding.
The agenda item was presented by Stacie Vos, executive director of Human Resource Services, who summarized ratification and the district’s priorities. The packet text includes: "The Wayzata Cafes, SEIU Local 284 voted on September 4, 2024 to ratify the contract." The recommended action in the packet is: "Approve the contract with the SEIU Local 284 Wayzata Cafes Bargaining Unit for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30 of 2027 as agreed upon by the bargaining teams and ratified by the SEIU Local 284 Wayzata Cafes Bargaining Unit." The transcript does not record a motion or vote result on this agenda item within the provided segments.
If the board approves the contract in a future recorded action, the packet indicates the changes will take immediate effect per the contract dates and will affect hourly wages, paid holidays, certification incentives and other working conditions for the Wayzata Cafés bargaining unit.
