Board approves successor bargaining agreements, administrative salaries and staff wages

Following executive session, the Columbia CUSD 4 board approved a series of personnel and compensation items, including successor collective-bargaining agreements and salary schedules.

A board member moved to approve the presented successor collective bargaining agreement for the teachers’ association, and the motion carried on a unanimous roll-call vote. The board then approved the successor agreement for SESPA (support staff). Subsequent motions approved the 2026–2027 administrative salaries and non-union/non-administrative staff wages as presented. Roll-call votes were recorded for each item and were unanimous in favor of approval. “I move to approve the presented successor collective bargaining agreement as presented for CA,” one board member said when making the motion on the teachers’ agreement.
