On Monday, the CSEA-LUSD Negotiations team met to continue bargaining for the successor CSEA-LUSD Contract. Two articles were discussed and made one tentative agreement. Significant progress was also made towards another final agreement.

We look forward to resuming negotiations on our one remaining article on Friday, August 28, and will provide another update then.

Please direct questions to your Executive Board at the next meeting (Sept. 16; CHS) or email [email protected]

Have a great day!
