May 24, 2024

The Gustine Unified School District and CSEA are pleased to announce they have reached a tentative agreement on May 17, 2024 in our labor negotiations for the school year 2024-2025. On May 17, 2024 at 1:30 PM, both parties inked a mutually agreed upon settlement to become effective July 1, 2024.

  • A 2% increase to the salary schedule, effective July 1, 2024

  • Changes to the Leaves Article 

  • The District and CSEA will form an Evaluation Committee and revise the evaluation
    forms to include criteria that directly apply to the unit member’s job classification. 

We appreciate both teams' effort and hard work to reach a tentative agreement so quickly. We are pleased to have had a very productive and successful first meeting which allowed the hard work of the teams to reach a tentative agreement so quickly. Both teams appreciate the amicable working relationship and look forward to continuing the productive interactions. 

The agreement reached reflects the ongoing commitment of the district to address the competitiveness of the classified salary schedule. This agreement moves us closer to that goal.
