Meeting #3 -ESTA met with the district today. The district started with the EUHSD Proposal #2 and reviewed with with ESTA. Afterwards, ESTA discussed as a team and came back before the end of the meeting with ESTA Proposal #3. The district continues to offer nothing for salary and benefits despite record funding for public education and the advice of School Services stating to use the May revise as the basis of district proposals to its labor partners.

Meeting #2-ESTA met with the district today. Both teams discussed the agreed upon norms. The district continues to violate the norm that involved emailing its respective constituents and proposed changing the norm to fit their practice. Discussion followed.
The district made its Initial Proposal - rejecting every piece of language ESTA had in its proposal and in turn, proposed "nothing" for Salary and "nothing" for Insurance. In addition, the district proposed language asking ESTA to limit and restrict its legal obligations to represent members through the grievance and bargaining process - a startling and hostile approach to the 22-23 contract negotiations. ESTA's team worked hard and was able to return with a counter (ESTA Proposal #2) before the District had to end Negotiations to attend the Nacho Bar at a school site. A member update was sent out this evening.
