District news
Teachers, teaching assistants and security monitors ratify new contract

What happened
The teachers' federation ratified a new contract for teachers, teaching assistants and security monitors, and the board approved it unanimously the week before the May 19, 2026 meeting.
Why it matters to families
Two lapsed contracts had been a concern in budget talks. Salary terms were not given in the recording, so the cost is not shown here.
The evidence
The superintendent announced the ratification and board approval in the May 19 meeting. The district also said a contingency budget would block talks on two contracts that had been expired for 2-3 years.
