Lincoln Way CHSD 210 Board Ratifies Five-Year Contract with Teachers'Union

The Lincoln Way Community High School District 210 Board of Education unanimously ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the Lincoln Way High School Education Association (LWEA) covering the 2024'2029 contract period after returning from a closed session on April 18.

Board members moved and seconded the ratification in open session. A board member thanked LWEA negotiators and district staff for the time and effort that went into the talks; the presiding officer also thanked the association. District officials referenced multiple staff members involved in the process, including the business office and Dr. Tingley, but did not present salary schedules, specific financial terms, or detailed amendments at the public meeting.

The board vote was via voice and recorded as unanimous. The motion to ratify the agreement was presented by a board member and seconded; no members recorded a dissent or abstention during the meeting.

The ratification followed a closed-session discussion the board said covered personnel and collective bargaining matters. Administration did not release the full contract text or itemized fiscal impact at the session; minutes and the approved contract text are expected to be included in board records or available on request according to district policy.
