Your Negotiations Team
SGTA Members,
Our negotiations meeting today started with an hour-long presentation from Derek Chau regarding the district’s finances. Then, the district provided a counter offer to our first offer on 2/27.
When reviewing proposals, please note that language that is red and/or bold is proposed new language. Language that is presented with a strike through is language that is proposed to be eliminated.
Attached please find the district’s counter proposal to our initial proposal. As you might remember, our first proposal at our last meeting was:
February 27, 2026 Time: 11:05 am
Article XVII, Salary
6% on schedule effective July 1, 2026
Raise teacher hourly rates from $50 to $65
Move all CTE teachers to the Teacher Salary schedule. Eliminate the CTE salary schedule
Today, the district offered .75%, and said they want to put more money into the overall raise versus hourly pay. So they didn’t agree on the hourly pay raise or moving the CTE teachers to the SGTA salary schedule.
They also presented language on hours of work, specifically banking minutes. You can see the remarks on the attached proposal. They also presented language on transfers, which we did not agree with.
We presented a definition of a staff meeting and did not agree with their language regarding the fourth Wednesday PD.

SGTA Members,
Today your SGTA negotiations team met with the district team. Members of the SPED task force (see photo) presented the plan (attached below) to the District. The District will review and respond at our next meeting on April 16.
We had a presentation from Ross Perry on potential certificated RIFs - the names and specifics were not shared with us. Ross will share specifics with SGTA Exec. Board on Tuesday and those affected will be notified by their principals by March 6. We asked about Administrative management cuts and were told there would be none.
After this, we presented our salary proposal (also attached below) and discussed transfer language that was presented by the district at our last meeting in January. We agreed to table discussion about the language until our next meeting.
In order for full transparency, please note that the two items attached are our initial proposals and are still being discussed and are subject to change.

Your negotiations team
The negotiations team had their first meeting with the district today. Everything started on a positive note. Derek Chau shared a comprehensive, hour long presentation on the district budget and finances. We began by presenting our initial proposal to lower the age of retirement with health benefits to 57 years of age. The district is costing out this proposal and will get back to us at our next meeting on February 27.
The district started a conversation on tightening up the voluntary transfer language in our CBA. We will continue this discussion at our next meeting as well. The other two items we sunshined (SPED/EL and salary) will be discussed at the next meeting as we are waiting for more information from the SPED committee.At our next meeting we will also be creating calendars for 2027-2028 which you will have the opportunity to vote on once they are completed.
