This was an OSEA–CSD labor bargaining meeting held September 15, 2026, involving Info Central. The parties reviewed proposed collective-bargaining language on compensation, benefits, safety equipment and training, extra-duty pay, grievance procedures, and agreement duration. Economic proposals included an 8% increase between pay steps, 1% longevity-step indexing, and changes to health-benefit funding: the district discussed a proposed $1,600 monthly cap, with 60% of specified opt-out amounts going into the insurance pool and an illustrative estimate of about $291,000. The discussion also referenced the existing $1,235 insurance cap. The union proposed, among other items, a district-operated childcare program and compensation for certain extra duties; these were subjects for further discussion, not approved decisions.

No votes or contract awards were recorded. The parties said they were not ready to tentatively agree to articles at this meeting and planned to exchange further proposals, review the overall cost of the union’s proposals, and discuss priorities at upcoming bargaining sessions. The district requested an email documenting a request for employee insurance-enrollment data; a smaller insurance-focused committee was also raised as a possible future option. No procurement activity was identified.
