Guiding Values For Negotiations In South Washington County Schools

Press release from South Washington County Schools:

May 6, 2021

South Washington County Schools (SoWashCo Schools) and its employee labor groups share a common interest in creating the most effective educational experience for our students. To support this goal, SoWashCo Schools has established guiding values for contract negotiations.

The SoWashCo Schools negotiations teams will be guided by our belief in:

• Creating a school system that supports equity for each student
• Listening to and communicating with all employees
• Working within our budget to responsibly meet our financial and educational obligations
• Promoting a culture that is focused on students, their growth and achievement

SoWashCo Schools is currently scheduling negotiation sessions with United Teachers of South Washington County (UTSWC). This is often seen as the beginning of the next cycle of contract negotiations with all employee groups.

You can find the full Guiding Values for Negotiations, regular updates and information at sowashco.org/negotiations.
