6/25/26 Special Board Meeting

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors held a special meeting on June 25, 2026, to consider and ratify a tentative collective bargaining agreement with the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association. The agreement covers three bargaining units: teachers, educational assistants, and school accountants/bookkeepers. It includes a total base wage increase of 2.63%, implemented in two steps—1.5% effective July 1, 2026, and an additional 1.13% effective January 1, 2027. The board unanimously approved a resolution to ratify the agreement and authorized the superintendent and board president to execute the contracts on behalf of the district. This action ensures compliance with Wisconsin wage statutes and avoids any referendum requirement, securing compensation adjustments for approximately 4,500 employees before the June 30 ratification deadline.
