The Board of Education approved the DEA contract for the 2026–2029 term as presented in the meeting packet. A board member moved to approve the contract and the motion was seconded; the board then completed a roll call vote with ayes recorded by members present.
Board members Andrew and Teresa were identified in the meeting as representatives involved in the process. One board member thanked the DEA and district administrators for their time, saying the agreement supports teacher compensation and “talent attraction and retention.” Another member thanked Andrew and Teresa for representing the board in negotiations.
