Teacher bargaining raised in closed-session public comment; union says teachers have been without a contract since June 2024
Summary
A public commenter told the board Temecula Valley educators have been without a contract since June 30, 2024, urged the board to set parameters for bargaining and emphasized due process concerns for employee discipline.
A public commenter addressed the Governing Board during the closed-session public comment period, asking the board to set parameters for labor negotiations with the Temecula Valley Educators Association and raising concerns about due process in disciplinary matters.
Edgar Diaz told the board that teachers in Temecula have been working without a contract since June 30, 2024, and urged the board in its conference with the labor negotiator to "come to an idea that recruits and values teachers to our school district that helps them stay here to be able to live in the community and invest in the community throughout their career." Diaz also raised concerns about timely, step-by-step disciplinary procedures for bargaining-unit members, saying the contract provides for due process and that members need adequate opportunity to address administrative concerns.
After the public comment the board adjourned to closed session for labor negotiation and other listed items, as announced from the dais in accordance with the government code citation stated by the board.
