SVUSD board ratifies CSEA tentative agreement and adopts resolution to reduce classified services

The Saddleback Valley Unified School District board voted to ratify a tentative agreement with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) for the 2024–25 school year and separately adopted a resolution to terminate or reduce classified services because of lack of work and/or lack of funds.

At the meeting, the board moved to "approve ratification of the tentative agreements between California School Employees Association and the Saddleback Valley Unified School District for 2024–25." The motion passed on a voice vote; the board president called for "All in favor?" and members responded "Aye." "The motion carries," the facilitator said.

The board then moved to approve "resolution 24, 24, 25 terminating and reducing services of classified employees for lack of work and or lack of funds." That motion also passed by voice vote after a motion, second and the board’s verbal assent.

Transcript notes: the roll call and votes were taken by voice; individual vote tallies or names were not recorded in the public transcript. The meeting packet contains the tentative agreement and the resolution referenced by number; the board approved them as presented and the motions were recorded as approved.

What happens next: adoption of the resolution means the district will proceed with the administrative steps described in the district materials for reductions in classified service; details about specific positions, notices and timelines were not specified on the public record at the meeting and are "not specified."
