Quick Summary / Abstract: Staff will present a summary of the Tentative Agreements between the Livermore Education Association (LEA) and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD).
Background: Each year, negotiating teams representing our District and the LEA meet to discuss items of interest pertaining to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Every three years, the full contract is opened, and in the off years, each negotiating team is entitled to a limited number of reopeners, as defined in the Contract. This year, 2020-2021, the full contract was re-opened for a successor agreement. During the February 18, 2020 Board Meeting, the contract re-openers were presented as a Public Hearing. During the March 3, 2020 Board Meeting, the contract re-openers were received and adopted.
Status The negotiating teams met several times, and were able to come to a Tentative Agreement on the following Articles: - Article 1 (Agreement) - Article 3 (Definitions) - Article 5 (Association Rights) - Article 6 (Organizational Security) - Article 12 (Evaluation) - Article 21 (Wages) - Article 24 (Retirement Incentive Program) - Article 35 (Technology) LEA and LVJUSD also agreed to a side letter for the placement of newly hired Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP) on the SLP salary schedule. LEA and LVJUSD will continue negotiations through the summer and fall. LEA is conducting its ratification vote on June 11, 2021, and if members vote to ratify, this item will be presented for Board approval.
Fiscal Impact Proposed contract changes, once approved and extended to the California School Employees Association (CSEA), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Classified Managers / Confidentials (CM/C), Livermore Management Association (LMA), LVJUSD Board and Contracted Employees, will impact the General Fund by approximately $4.4 million.
Superintendent's Recommendation: Ratify the Contract Re-openers between the Livermore Education Association and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District.
