The District and the CSEA Negotiation Teams met today to continue discussions on furlough days. We are pleased to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement on 10 furlough days (8 for 180-day employees) over the next 16 months to avoid layoffs.  CSEA has tentatively agreed to three days during 2009-10 school year for all unit members and seven days (five days for 180-day employees) during the 2010-11 school year.  The District also agreed to language, which includes retirement incentive, layoff mitigation/protection, vacation, and workload. 

CSEA will be bringing this to a vote for Chapter members in the near future. 

Thank you for patience and support during these difficult times. 

Sincerely,The District and CSEA Negotiating Teams
