Board tables classified employees contract after members note language discrepancy
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed collective bargaining agreement with the Classified Public Employees Association but tabled it for the July meeting after members identified removal of five family sick-leave days in section 3.15.2 that must be clarified or restored.
The board reviewed a proposed Classified Public Employees Association collective bargaining agreement and tabled action after members identified a discrepancy in leave language.
During the presentation of the Dieringer Classified Public Employees Association (WEA) collective bargaining agreement, a board member pointed to section 3.15.2 and said an element had been removed. The superintendent confirmed "the part that was taken out was, the 5 days of extra additional family sick leave." Board members discussed the difference between bereavement leave and family sick leave and noted the five extra days should be restored or clarified.
After the omission was flagged, the board voted to table the agreement and bring it back at the July meeting for review. Chair moved and a second was recorded; the board agreed to postpone final approval so staff and negotiators can correct or clarify section 3.15.2.
Why it matters: Collective bargaining agreements govern employee leave and benefits. Board members emphasized the need for clarity in negotiated language to ensure correct leave entitlements for classified staff.
What's next: The agreement is scheduled for reconsideration at the July meeting after staff review and proposed corrections. No new contractual terms were adopted at this meeting.
