July 1, 2026 Summer Update: Recall, Bumping, and What Comes Next Paraeducator Recall Update I know many of you have been waiting for news on the paraeducator recall list, and I wanted to give you an update on where things stand. The district has already worked through several employee groups. Tutor Advisors, Secretaries, Custodians, and Nutrition Services positions have all been placed. That leaves the largest and most complex group remaining—our Paraeducators. Because of the number of positions that must be reviewed and the delays caused by the holiday weekend, the district has not yet begun the paraeducator recall process. While I know the waiting is frustrating, this does not mean anything is wrong. It simply reflects the size of the task and the time required to work through it correctly. CEA is continuing to monitor the process closely. As soon as the district begins making paraeducator placements, we will review the recall lists, verify that the contract is being followed, and share updates with you as quickly as we can. Please continue to keep an eye on your email and the district's job postings. If your contact information has changed, make sure Human Resources has your current phone number and email address so you don't miss any communication. 🤝 Contract Negotiations UpdateThis spring, CEA and the District exchanged our initial contract proposals. As is typical, negotiations paused over the summer and will resume once everyone returns for the school year. In the meantime, we've been watching the teachers' negotiations closely. They have already met with the District several times, and so far there has been no movement on wages. Their initial proposal from the District is very similar to the one CEA received, so we expect many of the same issues to be discussed when we return to the bargaining table. CEA's proposal is focused on investing in classified employees by:
Remember, these are initial proposals. The real work begins when both sides return to the bargaining table and start negotiating each article. Your bargaining team is prepared for those discussions and remains committed to securing the strongest contract possible for CEA members. We'll continue to keep you updated as negotiations move forward.
