Westonka School Board Approves New Staff Contracts, Expands Hours for Two Support Positions
Board members unanimously signed off on 2026-2028 agreements with principals and educational office employees, along with added contract days for administrative assistants.
The Westonka Public Schools board unanimously approved a series of staff contracts and administrative adjustments at its recent meeting, including new 2026-2028 agreements with the district's Principal Association and its Educational Office Employees group.
District administrator Kevin, who presented the items to the board, said negotiators weighed both financial limits and the need to retain employees in a competitive regional labor market before reaching settlements with the two groups.
When we look at how we approach uh contracts, we obviously look at um our budget. We look at being competitive in the area that we are and we work hard to make sure that we can keep staff and also honor the two things that I just spoke of.
Happy that we uh found uh agreement on both of those contracts.
Both contracts, which cover Independent School District 277, were approved unanimously by the board with no discussion beyond the administrator's summary.
Added contract days for two positions
The board also approved an expansion of contract days for the district's Food Service Administrative Assistant and its TNL Technology and Facilities Administrative Assistant positions. Administrators said the change formalizes work the employees have already been performing and documenting outside their contracted calendar.
We've done enough time sheet that we realize that uh we need to put this as part of their contract. And so it's a it's a small addition, but it's one that should be recognized and that's why we bring that to you.
