Travis Unified board approves two-year tentative teacher agreement with 4.31% raise and salary schedule updates
Summary
The board ratified a two-year tentative agreement with the teachers' bargaining unit that includes a 4.31% salary increase starting July 1, 2026, and a 90%-of-COLA adjustment in 2027; the board also approved related salary schedule updates for certificated and unrepresented staff.
The Travis Unified School District board approved a two-year tentative agreement with the Travis Unified Teachers Association (TUDA) that district staff described as aimed at recruitment and retention in a competitive labor market.
Under the agreement presented by district negotiator Vince, certificated staff would receive a 4.31% salary increase effective July 1, 2026, with an additional adjustment in the second year corresponding to 90% of the state COLA applied July 1, 2027. Vince said the agreement also included negotiated language changes for common planning time and updated induction language, and established a calendar committee composed of certificated, classified and management representatives to plan two years in advance.

Board members and public commenters framed the multi-year deal as a recruitment tool that allows the district to show prospective teachers a stable, predictable salary schedule during hiring and recruitment cycles. "This will be much more than a one-year negotiation — it's helpful for recruiting new teachers," one trustee said during discussion.
The board also approved the corresponding salary schedule updates for TUDA and for unrepresented employee groups, and authorized the AB1200 public disclosures required by county offices of education to certify that the district can meet the financial commitments in bargaining agreements.
What the board did: The board voted to approve the tentative agreement and to adopt the revised salary schedules; motions passed by voice vote.
Context and budget implications: District staff told the board the 2026-27 budget and multi-year projections incorporate the negotiated increases and remain within the district's reserve policy. The district cited a favorable state funding environment (LCFF COLA and increased state special education funding) as enabling the multi-year agreement.
