Negotiations
Waconia Public Schools and its employee labor groups share a common interest in creating the most effective educational experiences for students. This page will include updates when negotiations with employee groups are in progress.
Core Purpose
- Empower students to explore their passions and create their success by providing opportunities for academic, social and emotional growth.
- Prioritize our agreed upon “Desired Daily Experiences” for students, parents and staff.
To support these goals, Waconia Public Schools have established Guiding Values for contract negotiations.
