OSEA-CSD Bargaining 4

The OSEA-CSD bargaining meeting at Info Central on September 15, 2026, addressed proposed changes to several labor-agreement articles. The parties reported broad agreement on Article 2 aside from one unresolved sentence, and discussed vacancy/transfer procedures and transportation provisions, including a four-week period, driving experience, and multi-day trip language. Other contract topics included professional growth training, tuition reimbursement of up to $10,000 with a $1,000-per-employee-per-school-year cap, compensation-time cash-out timing, work calendars, and personnel-file procedures. Several articles remained open for follow-up at the next meeting; no final vote or contract award was reported.

The parties also debated language concerning the district’s right to contract or subcontract work. The district said it was unwilling to relinquish that right, while the union sought language recognizing discussion of the impacts and reflecting the parties’ past practice. No resolution was reached, and the language was referred for further consideration. This discussion could affect future vendor opportunities, but no specific procurement, vendor selection, or spending approval was identified. Budget and enrollment uncertainty was noted as a reason to defer major items for later discussion.
