Board approves teacher memorandum of agreement and job‑sharing arrangements

The Mineola Union Free School District Board of Education approved a memorandum of agreement (MOA) dated May 8, 2025 with the Mineola Teachers Association and authorized two separate employee agreements to implement job‑sharing arrangements, all presented and adopted during the meeting.

The board moved and seconded the MOA and the related personnel agreements. A district official explained the MOA was a one‑time amendment intended to compensate teachers who went on a trip during vacation and that the district and union had worked jointly to authorize the payment.

Two additional resolutions (passed as paired actions) authorized agreements with employees whose identities were known to the board and allowed the board president and superintendent to execute the agreements on behalf of the district. Board members clarified these were job‑sharing arrangements that required agreement by the teachers, the union and the board.

Why it matters: The actions formalize short‑term compensation changes and job‑sharing arrangements that affect individual employees' assignments and pay; the agreements were approved on the record with the superintendent and board president authorized to execute the documents.

Attribution and details

Board members asked for clarifications during the motions; administrators confirmed that the teacher MOA was a one‑time amendment and that the job‑sharing agreements were mutually agreed upon by affected employees and the union. The clerk called the votes and recorded the measures as passed.

Implementation notes

The board authorized the board president and superintendent to sign the executed agreements. The MOA and job‑sharing agreements were effective as of the dates on the documents and require standard personnel processing by the district human‑resources office.
