Negotiators tie pay timeline to referendum and plan CTSIA submission to DOE
Summary
Bargainers agreed to include referenda language with the CTSIA MOU, discussed distribution years that could shift with fund balances, and the district said it will submit CTSIA to the board pending unit ratification and provide DOE an update.
Meeting participant (S3) urged negotiators to present the referendum language and the CTSIA MOU as a package and sought language that would give employees hope the distribution years ('27, '28) could shift depending on fund balance and availability. Agency official (S1) said the district would add a statement that dates are estimates contingent on receiving funds and that the district would provide an update to the Department of Education once the bargaining unit and district 'have reached an agreement.'
Agency official (S1) said the district will place the CTSIA on the board agenda for approval "pending unit ratification" and asked for a ratification timeframe to include in the DOE update; negotiators discussed a window of Sept. 15–Sept. 30 for certain administrative steps. The parties agreed to return Aug. 5 to continue bargaining and to finalize the package for ratification and board action.
