Board ratifies 2026-27 agreements with teachers, classified staff and paraeducators

What happened

On June 9, 2026 the board ratified new agreements with the Boulder Valley Education Association (teachers), Classified Employees Association and Paraeducator Association, effective for 2026-27. District cost summary: step increases cost about $5.9 million, and each 1% raise across all employee groups costs about $3.6 million.

Why it matters to families

Salaries and benefits are the largest part of the budget, so these agreements shape how much money is left for other needs as enrollment falls.

The evidence

The agenda items 8.5 to 8.7 are Resolutions 26-22, 26-23 and 26-24 and passed on consent. The cost summary lists steps $5,909,834 and $3,628,679 per 1%. The raise percentage agreed was not stated in the extracted text, so it is not given here.
