The Saint Paul Federation of Educators bargains contracts for all School and Community Service Professionals, Educational Assistants, and Licensed Staff who work in Saint Paul Public Schools. SPFE is proud of our long history fighting for the best contract possible for our members.

Negotiations for the 2025-2027 contract start on Thursday, May 15, 2025 and are scheduled for dates in May (15th, 29th), June (16th, 18th, 24th, 26th), July (30th, 31st) and August (1st, 4th). Locations are TBD.

Our negotiation sessions are open to the public, and we encourage members, parents, and community members to attend. Educators and parents are key partners in contract negotiations, and we often invite them to testify on the proposals we are bringing to the bargaining table. Bargaining alongside parents and the community fundamentally changed the way that SPFE approaches contract negotiations.
