Quick Summary / Abstract: Staff will present a summary of the Tentative Agreements and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Livermore Education Association (LEA) and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD).
Background: Each year, negotiating teams representing our District and the LEA meet to discuss items of interest pertaining to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Every three years, the full contract is opened, and in the off years, each negotiating team is entitled to a limited number of reopeners, as defined in the Contract.

During the 2020-2021 school year, the full contract was re-opened for a successor agreement.

During the February 18, 2020 Board Meeting, the contract re-openers were presented at a Public Hearing.

During the March 3, 2020 Board Meeting, the contract re-openers were received and adopted.

During the June 15, 2021 Board Meeting, our Board approved the ratification of the following Articles:

Article 1: Agreement
Article 3: Definitions
Article 5: Association Rights
Article 6: Organizational Security
Article 12: Evaluation
Article 21: Wages
Article 24: Retirement Incentive Program
Article 35: Technology

LEA and LVJUSD also agreed to a side letter for the placement of newly hired Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP) on the SLP salary schedule.

LEA and LVJUSD agreed to continue negotiations through the summer and fall. After several more sessions, the two teams were able to come to agreement on the remaining articles that had been opened. Those additional agreements are attached.
