The Tacoma School District Board of Directors ratified collective bargaining agreements covering multiple employee groups for the 2025–28 contract period.

The director of labor relations recommended ratification of agreements between the district and the Tacoma Education Association (TEA), the Tacoma Association of Education Office Professionals and the Tacoma Association of Public School Professional and Technical Employees. The board moved and seconded the ratifications and conducted a roll‑call vote; the agreements were approved.

Why it matters: The contracts set terms for wages, staffing and other working conditions that interact with the district’s budget and the summer staffing placement process. Board members thanked bargaining teams and staff for their work on the agreements.

Ending: The board approved the 2025–28 collective bargaining agreements and directors acknowledged the role of bargaining teams and members in reaching the settlements.
