Bargaining Update 9/15/25
Article 17- We are close, but have not yet signed the agreement for 10 days of paternity leave. This is in addition to the 20 days of maternity leave that we have previously bargained for our members. CUSD is one of only a few districts in the county that offer maternity or paternity leave.
Article 19 - We have agreed to, but have not yet signed the agreement for a cost of living adjustment for 25-26 at 2% and for 26-27 at 2%, The district’s original offer was 0% for each of those years. Please keep in mind that our health care coverage costs have gone up this year by an average of 11%. We have not yet agreed upon a start date for the new rate of pay, but retro pay (July 1- December) should appear in the December paycheck, then in January the new rate of pay will appear on your paycheck.
Article 24 - Dual Enrollment- we are still in discussions about this as we don’t want this to negatively affect our FTE as the district offers more and more courses.
Appendix D - Please be aware we are working on an MOU with CUSD regarding evaluations and goals for 26-27 due to the dates needing to be moved up since the first day of school is so much earlier.
