OSEA-CSD Bargaining 12

This was an OSEA-CSD labor-bargaining meeting held September 15, 2026. The parties reviewed proposed agreement language and discussed wages, benefits, and other contract costs amid district budget concerns, declining enrollment, and prior districtwide cuts. Proposals discussed included a 1.8% salary-schedule increase and a 4% wage provision with reindexing; the district said the parties remained far apart financially and planned to run updated cost estimates and return with a counterproposal. A compensation pool was discussed as potentially increasing by approximately $25,000–$30,000. The district also cited a rough estimate of $54,000 annually if eligible employees used ten days under a sick-leave-related provision, while emphasizing that costs must be assessed as part of the overall package.

Other topics included insurance, vacation, sick leave and 403(b) provisions, holiday language, and bargaining timelines. The parties discussed exploring reopening economic provisions based on factors such as enrollment or state funding, and considering a separate, time-limited memorandum on daycare rather than contract language. The preamble was signed as a tentative agreement during the meeting; no formal vote or procurement action was identified. The discussion concerned education labor relations and district finances, not purchasing or vendor contracting.
