Board members and the superintendent said the district ratified a teachers' contract with the Teachers Association (TALC) at the Nov. 4 meeting and that the agreement includes raises of up to 7% for teachers. The superintendent and board members praised negotiators and said the settlement compared favorably to other districts around the state.

During member remarks Mr. Fisher and others thanked the superintendent's negotiating team and union leadership. Superintendent Dr. Christopher Carlin noted the district's ability to find funds to support the agreement and cited improvements such as added instructional minutes and leave provisions. The transcript does not include the detailed roll-call vote for the contract in the public comment excerpt, but multiple speakers referenced board approval of the contract that evening.

The board and superintendent described the agreement as a win for teachers and students and emphasized the district's continuing recruitment and hiring efforts.
