The Edina Public School District board approved a tentative two‑year collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for the district’s Health Service Associates (HSAs) at its Nov. 10 meeting.

Human Resources Director Sonia Sailor summarized the agreement, which takes effect July 1, 2025, and runs through June 30, 2027. Financial highlights include step advancement for eligible HSAs both years; a 3.0% wage increase to the salary schedule for non‑RN HSAs in 2025–26 and 2.6% in 2026–27; RN HSAs will receive a 2.0% increase in each year. All wage increases were agreed to be applied retroactively to July 1, 2025. The tentative agreement also adds five paid holidays for all HSAs beginning in the second year of the contract.

Sailor thanked union negotiators and identified Miriam Campbell (HSA at Creek Valley) as the HSA chief negotiator. Using the Minnesota School Boards Association costing formula, district negotiators estimated the two‑year package increase at 8.75%.

Board members voiced appreciation for the negotiations and, with no recorded opposition, approved the agreement by voice vote. The agreement will be implemented under district negotiation oversight and reflected in the district’s FY26–27 staffing and compensation plans.
