SBUnified
Both Sides Engaged in an Interest-Based Process on Reclassification
Introduction
This is Santa Barbara Unified School District’s (SBUSD) eighth Negotiations Update for successor contract negotiations between the District and the California School Employee Association (CSEA). The District will distribute the Negotiations Update after meetings with CSEA to inform our community on the progress of negotiations.
SBUSD Offers Counterproposal on Reclassification
Thursday, SB Unified responded to CSEA’s initial proposal on reclassification language. After submitting the counterproposal, both teams mutually agreed to engage in an interest-based collaborative process. That allowed us to define each side’s interests and develop potential options to address those interests. A CSEA labor representative facilitated the process. The work accomplished in this process will guide each side’s next proposal on reclassification language.
Next Steps:
The next negotiation session is on May 15.
