Dear MESD Administrators,
I want to share with you that yesterday was a very productive day of bargaining. We have reached a Tentative Agreement with MEA! All details are confidential until the contract language has been updated and reviewed by the legal council and both parties. Once that is complete you will be provided with the contact highlights in the Executive Session and the Tentative Agreement will be on the June 18th Board Agenda for approval.
The process was collaborative throughout, which speaks to the high level of trust and the positive culture of MESD. The open and honest discussions on behalf of all team members lead to a strong and fair contractual agreement.
I can’t express my gratitude enough for our leadership team. It is truly a great feeling to wrap up the school year with both union contracts settled. It helps our staff have an enjoyable summer without working about bargaining, or working without a contract.
With appreciation,
Dr. Paul E. Coakley
MESD Superintendent
