Bargaining Update

Summary of Meeting

We were happy to meet today for our fourth bargaining session to discuss specific articles more in depth. In tonight’s meeting, the following was accomplished:

The Association presented counter proposals to the following articles:

• Article 8-Layoff and Recall

• Article 10-Leaves of Absence

• Article 2-Recognition

• Article 3-Definitions

• Article 4-Association Rights and Responsibilities

• Article 18-Joint Committees

• Article 5-Grievance (no link: verbal proposal only)
  
  

The District presented counter proposals to the following articles:

• Article 6-Bargaining Unit Member Rights

• Article 9-School Calendar and Work Year
  
  

As we began to discuss our next session, we appreciated the Association’s perspective of Article 12 being a top priority to its members, as it is a shared priority of the District. To that end, we will commit the entire next session to an in-depth conversation on Article 12.  We look forward to our continued dialogue and understanding of each other’s perspectives as we work together to reach an agreement on a new contract.

The next session will be 6/7/23 and we confirmed the next three bargaining sessions for the fall.
