The 抖音阴app Unified School District (SRVUSD) negotiations team and the 抖音阴app Education Association (SRVEA) negotiations team met on February 4, 2025, for the second session of negotiations related to budget reductions.
Key aspects of the proposals are outlined for reference only and may not cover all details of the scope of changes proposed. For further details, please see each proposal exchanged with the hyperlinks included below.
SRVUSD Proposals Provided - February 4, 2025
抖音阴app Unified in alignment with the approved Budget Reduction Plan, the District presented the following proposals:
- Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Proposal: Protect and Preserve Student Services - key points of the counter offer are summarized below
- Under the Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA), SRVEA’s proposal related to management positions and staffing falls outside the scope of negotiable items as defined by Government Code Section 3540, which governs labor relations for public school employers and employees. Specifically, the law establishes that the union may only negotiate on behalf of bargaining unit members and within the defined scope of representation, which includes items such as wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment for bargaining unit members.
- While these specific proposals cannot be addressed through the collective bargaining process, the District remains committed to transparency in financial planning and will continue to engage with stakeholders, including SRVEA, to support shared goals within our respective roles and legal boundaries.
- The district understands and appreciates the desire to have a retirement incentive for SRVEA members. SRVEA retains its right under collective bargaining to make a formal proposal to the District for such a plan. However, a key aspect of being able to offer such a program is to ensure the District has substantive one-time funding to make payments for any incentive provided. SRVUSD does not have funding for such a purpose, given our need to reduce 3.5 million dollars in the current year.
- The District restated and shared the same scope of reductions outlined in the initial proposal provided on January 23.
- - SRVUSD provided SRVEA with a comprehensive Revenue Enhancement Plan - this codifies in writing many of the concepts and ideas already shared in public settings, such as Budget Advisory Committee Meetings, Town Halls, and Board of Education meetings.
SRVEA Proposals Provided - February 4, 2025
SRVEA - 抖音阴app Education Association - during today's session, SRVEA provided the following counter-proposal:
- : SRVEA responded to the District’s February 4th counter proposal with a proposal for a Student Support and Professional Development Discretionary Block Grant MOU. Key points are summarized below:
- Conditional on Funding: The MOU depends on the enactment of the Student Support and Professional Development Discretionary Block Grant in the 2025-26 state budget, expected to provide $9 million, one-time dollars to SRVUSD.
- Preservation of Student Support Services: The funds must be used to maintain 2024-25 staffing levels for:
-
- Elementary counselors
- Middle school student support counselors
- Secondary counseling staff
- Social Workers
- Elementary Rainbow Room school psychologist
- High school teacher librarians
-
-
- Bridge Funding: This MOU serves as temporary funding until long-term funding is secured through the District's Revenue Enhancement Plan (February 2025).
- Duration & Amendments: The MOU remains in effect for the 2025-26 fiscal year, with any amendments requiring mutual agreement in writing.
- Contingency Clause: If the block grant is not included in the final state budget, this MOU becomes void.
SRVEA advised the District team that before it responds to areas of the District’s proposal on furlough days, 4th and 5th grade class sizes, and middle and high school class sizes, it must first consult with the SRVEA Executive Board.
Next Steps
No agreements were reached during today’s session. SRVUSD remains committed to working with SRVEA to reach agreements regarding challenging budget reductions while ensuring that the District remains fiscally solvent.
The next negotiation session is scheduled for a half-day, tomorrow, February 5, 2025, and the draft agenda includes the following:
