Bargaining Update: No School On Tuesday, September 2; Meal Service To Begin - 08/31/25

 

Vancouver, Wash., August 31, 2025 – The following message was sent to Evergreen Public Schools families and staff:

 

Dear Evergreen Community,

Today I have to inform you that we will have to continue to delay the start of the 2025-26 school year. With the strike being held by the PSE Large Group classified union still not resolved, we will not have school on Tuesday, September 2. I can also share with you that we will begin meal service for families starting Tuesday. Details are below.

The Board and I had hoped that delaying school for a week would have allowed the district and the PSE Large Group’s bargaining teams time to reach an agreement without further disruption to families. The PSE Large Group could opt to work under the previous agreement, which the terms of the contract allow for a full year. However, union leaders have opted to continue their strike.

 

Beginning on Tuesday afternoon, we will send a daily message around 4 p.m. to update the community about the status of school for the following day. 

 

The district’s proposal along with proposed salary increases, salary schedules, bargaining highlights, tentative agreements and an FAQ are posted on the PSE Bargaining Updates webpage. We remain hopeful that we will be able to reach an agreement with the union and get students back in the classroom. 

 

Meals Service to Begin: Starting Tuesday, the district will make breakfast and lunch available for students at no cost each school day during the strike. Families will be able to pick up meals at three schools, which will have staggered pickup times to give families options.

Statement From Evergreen Public Schools On PSE Large Group Bargaining - 08/26/25

Evergreen Public Schools News Release

Statement from Evergreen Public Schools on PSE Large Group Bargaining

Vancouver, Wash., August 26, 2025 – Today the PSE Large Group bargaining team was unwilling to make themselves available for a bargaining session with the Evergreen Public Schools bargaining team at the Administrative Service Center. Union leaders did not give the district a reason for missing this session.

The EPS bargaining team is working and remains available and ready to bargain in good faith to reach a settlement that is fair and sustainable under the district’s current budget constraints. The PSE Large Group’s contract expires on Saturday, but its members are allowed to continue to work under their current collective bargaining agreement for one year after it expires while continuing to negotiate.

Today union members went on strike against the district. The EPS Board of Directors delayed the start of the school year from today to Tuesday, September 2, to provide stability and predictability for our students and families and to give the bargaining teams more time to reach a settlement, but the union still opted to start a strike, which is illegal under Washington state law.

Information on the PSE Large Group bargaining is available here.


About Evergreen Public Schools:With about 22,000 students in 38 schools in the city of Vancouver, Evergreen Public Schools is one of the largest school districts in the state of Washington. The district was founded in 1945, when nine schools from eight different districts came together.

Evergreen Public Schools Will Delay Start Of 2025-26 School Year By One Week - 08/22/25

Evergreen Public Schools News Release

Evergreen Public Schools Will Delay Start of 2025-26 School Year by One Week

Vancouver, Wash., August 22, 2025 – On Friday, Evergreen Public Schools announced that it will delay the start of the 2025-26 school year by one week, with classes starting Tuesday, September 2. The delay comes amidst the district’s ongoing negotiations with its PSE Large Group classified union, whose contract expires August 30.

The EPS Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution Friday to approve the schedule change, which will give the district negotiating team more time to reach an agreement with the union. Union leaders have announced that their members approved a strike starting on the first day of school, which had originally been August 26.

“By delaying the start of school, we are giving bargaining teams an opportunity to reach a contract that is fair to both sides and sustainable under our current budget constraints,” said Dr. Christine Moloney, EPS Superintendent. “A one-week delay will allow students, families and staff to make plans with less of the uncertainty of the day-to-day decision-making that sometimes comes during negotiation proceedings.”

Dr. Moloney and the Board said classes cannot be held safely without members of the union, which includes paraeducators, bus drivers, security officers and maintenance staff.

The district has been negotiating with the PSE Large Group, which represents about 1,400 classified employees, since March. Starting in July, the sessions have included a mediator appointed by the state's Public Employee Relations Commission. Updates and information on the latest proposals are available on the PSE Large Group Bargaining webpage.

Next week the following will be available for families:

  • Athletics: Middle and high school sports will continue next week as scheduled.
  • Registration for new students will continue to be available at schools and online.
  • Boundaries: The Boundary Department will be open, and those with questions can also email boundaries@evergreenps.org.
