Board recognizes the teachers union as bargaining agent for classified staff
What happened
On August 25 the board recognized the Sheridan Education Association as bargaining agent for a new unit of classified employees, such as bus drivers, custodians, paraprofessionals, secretaries and food service workers. The Colorado Department of Labor verified that 35.71% of these workers wanted representation. The superintendent must start talks on a first contract, aiming to finish by the end of 2026-27.
