Classified staff,

We appreciated your patience as we finalized confidential MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) negotiations with the District team last week.

We are pleased to share that our bargaining team reached a Tentative Agreement on an Early Retirement/Separation Benefit that may be available to select staff for the 2025-26 school year only. Please see the attached PDF for the full details of this agreement and to check if you may be eligible to apply for this benefit.

This agreement must be ratified by our membership and by the School Board in order for it to become accessible to staff. YOUR VOTE IS CRITICAL‼️

We are providing two opportunities for you to cast your vote in person at the HCU Office (245 SE 4th Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97123): ⬇️
