District approves MOU with CSEA 570 to add TK paraeducator classifications and adjust 2025–26 salaries

The Mark West Union School District Board of Trustees approved a Memorandum of Understanding with CSEA 570 to establish new job descriptions and classifications for TK Paraeducator and TK SDC Paraeducator roles and to update the 2025–2026 salary ranges. The item (10.2.1) was approved as part of the consent agenda after the union reported a favorable membership vote immediately prior to the Board meeting.

Trustee Tracy Lavin-Kendall moved to approve the consent agenda item and Trustee Aaron Smith seconded; the minutes record the vote as Aye=4, Nay=0, Abstention=0, Absent=1. The minutes do not specify exact salary figures or effective dates beyond noting the updated 2025–2026 salary ranges were included in the agreement. The Board did not request additional public discussion during the meeting.
