OSEA-CSD Bargaining 14

The Info Central OSEA-CSD bargaining meeting on September 15, 2026, addressed proposed terms for a school-district labor agreement. The parties reviewed several articles and identified sections they believed were tentatively agreed, while leaving issues for further review; no formal vote, final agreement, or procurement action was reported. The district discussed an estimated $93,000–$100,000 increase in medical and dental costs, a proposed $1,600 contribution cap, and a benefits pool whose allocation would be finalized after costs were known. The parties also discussed a proposed 2% salary increase and an additional step for employees at the top of the scale, with some timing details still unclear.

A major unresolved cost issue was sick-leave conversion or payout eligibility. Estimates included about $51,000 for currently eligible employees, with additional costs potentially bringing the total to roughly $75,000; participants noted the figures were preliminary and could vary based on employee participation and leave balances. The parties also discussed the proposed agreement term, with the district’s proposal extending through June 30, 2028, and continued disagreement over arbitration language. No vendors, contract awards, bids, or purchasing decisions were identified.
