AUSD and Teachers Union Tentatively Agree on Resolution of Labor Negotiations

NOTICE FROM THE ALAMEDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Early this morning negotiating teams representing the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) and the Alameda Education Association (AEA) reached a tentative agreement.

The tentative agreement came after four sessions with an outside mediator that began on March 7, continued on March 15, and concluded with mediation sessions this week on March 21 and 22. The last three mediation sessions on March 15, 21 and 22 all extended past midnight.

The District’s understanding is that AEA intends to share the terms of the tentative agreement and vote with its members within the next week.

Superintendent Kirsten Vital thanked the negotiating teams for their perseverance during negotiations: “We appreciate the hard work and commitment of both AEA’s and AUSD’s negotiating teams over the past year to keep working to reach the important compromises in this tentative agreement.”
