Overview

  • Talks continued through Monday and Tuesday without a deal, and both sides planned to return to bargaining on Wednesday.
  • The district and union agreed to collaborate on a fiscal analysis of their current proposals to clarify the financial gap.
  • District leaders back a fact-finder–aligned offer with about a 2.1% raise plus a 1% one-time payment, phased increases in health contributions and a class size committee, estimating $11.6 million over three years with additional cuts projected in 2027.
  • The union seeks a 3.5% raise, broader health coverage, smaller class sizes and a full-time counselor at every elementary school, a package the district estimates at roughly $32 million and says could risk insolvency.
  • All campuses remain open on shortened schedules staffed by administrators and substitutes, with meals and some activities continuing as rallies and a packed school board meeting underscored community pressure.
