Oradell School Board Finalizes Four-Year Contract with Teachers’ Union
- Meeting Overview:
The Oradell School Board has successfully concluded negotiations with the Oradell Education Association (OEA), resulting in a new four-year contract. This agreement, effective from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2029, was ratified by the union shortly after the academic year ended. The board expressed gratitude towards both the negotiation teams and the union for their collaborative efforts in reaching this agreement.
During the superintendent’s report, accomplishments and ongoing projects were highlighted. The superintendent congratulated the sixth graders on their recent commencement, emphasizing the collaborative effort it took to ensure a successful event despite weather challenges. The district has also launched its summer programming, providing a range of educational and recreational activities for students.
Updates on the district’s infrastructure projects were provided, notably the HVAC project, which is progressing ahead of schedule. The new building and grounds supervisor is set to begin on July 1st, bringing experience from his previous role at Ramapo.
The board discussed behavioral trends from the past school year, with positive data indicating improved math growth among fourth and fifth graders following the implementation of a new math program. This data will guide future Title I funding decisions and professional development plans.
The meeting briefly touched on other logistical topics, including the renewal of various district contracts. While no specific purchase orders were issued, the board intends to review contract increases to better understand their financial impact.
