Key Actions & Decisions

• ◆ Albion teacher-contract negotiations were at impasse and had been referred for state mediation, according to a labor-relations presentation recorded in the district’s September 14 board summary. The record describes the district’s account of the talks; it does not establish a settlement or the present status of mediation.
• ◆ Karl Kristoff, an Orleans/Niagara BOCES labor-relations specialist, told the board that the Albion Teachers’ Association declared impasse on June 24, after the sides disagreed about the order in which to address remaining issues. A mediator had been appointed, he said, but no next negotiating sessions were scheduled at the time of the presentation.
• ◆ Kristoff said negotiating teams reached a tentative agreement on November 26, 2025, and association members rejected it on December 11. He explained that the proposed terms never took effect because the agreement was not ratified. That distinction matters for families and taxpayers: the rejected proposal is not an adopted pay or scheduling change.
