CURRENT Bargaining Updates
03/04/25 (3rd session on calendar)
Today ACT again proposed to CUSD the ACT created 25-26 calendar that starts on August 18, 2025 as the first member workday.
ACT stated that we would finalize a TA today on the 25-26 calendar, but CUSD stated they will only accept a 2 year deal.
ACT then proposed a modified version of the 26-27 calendar committee created calendar with a member return to work day of August 3, 2026 and a final workday of May 26th, 2027. This calendar includes terms that are more balanced than the original proposal, a proposed start workday of a Monday, and a teacher workday of December 18, 2026 for grading completion prior to winter break. A PD day of January 5, 2027 is also included. This calendar proposal was tied to a one time stipend of $4,500 per member returning from the 25-26 school year, payable in September of 2026.
The proposed 26-27 calendar can be seen at this link.
This proposal takes into account member input/feedback, calendar committee work, board member comments, and the three weeks of lost summer break
We are currently waiting to hear back from the district as to our proposal and the next bargaining date.
2/18/25 (2nd Bargaining Session on Calendar)
Thank you to everyone for coming out to vote for calendars. Your bargaining team met today with the district negotiation team to share the results of our vote and the calendars that the members voted on. Discussions will be ongoing as we work together to find a calendar that meets everyone's needs.
Per our MOU, the calendar committee was created to give a recommendation to negotiation teams. Your ACT bargaining team created calendars based on recent survey results from ACT members, the information from the calendar committee and contract language.
We have heard from many members that you have no desire to start on a Monday. Our version of the calendar took this information into account. The calendar committee did not come to a unanimous vote for a calendar. The results from the CHS survey of students showed that more than twice as many students do not want a change in the calendar.
We also want to thank our members for serving on the calendar committee and providing input to that committee. This work helped to develop one of the three calendars that was voted on by membership.
