Board accepts initial proposals from classified employees and district as bargaining starts
Summary
The board opened public hearings and voted to accept both the California School Employees Association chapter 103 initial proposal and the district's initial proposal; votes were unanimous and negotiations proceed.
The Lhasa School District Board of Trustees opened public hearings and unanimously accepted initial proposals from the California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 103 and the district, marking the start of successor-agreement negotiations for 2022–25.
During the meeting staff read the CSEA proposed articles (including compensation, employment and assignments, leaves and miscellaneous provisions) and the district’s counterproposal (compensation, insurance, reclassification, leaves, severance and contractual provisions). The board opened and closed the public hearings without public comment.
Board procedural action followed: Trustee Vladimir moved and Trustee Stella seconded motions to accept the CSEA’s initial proposal and then the district’s initial proposal. Both motions passed unanimously with no abstentions. Staff characterized the acceptance as the formal receipt and acknowledgement of each side’s opening bargaining positions; it does not constitute agreement on terms.
CSEA representatives spoke briefly to thank the board and said they look forward to bargaining. District staff and negotiators said the next step is to schedule negotiating sessions with both parties. No changes to employee pay or contract language were approved at the meeting; acceptance of initial proposals simply formally begins the negotiations process under state labor rules.
Trustees recorded no dissent; the board’s action was procedural and consistent with negotiating timelines.
