  • 2022-23 CSEA Contract Agreement with Calexico Unified School District

    2022-23 CSEA Contract Agreement with Calexico Unified School District

    In an exciting turn of events, the dedicated members of the California School Employees Association (CSEA 399), representing hundreds of hardworking individuals in the Calexico Unified School District, are celebrating a significant victory. After six months of rigorous negotiations with representatives from the Calexico Unified School District, a contract agreement was finally been reached on August 1, 2023, bringing cheer and optimism to CSEA 399 members.

    This remarkable agreement marks the second consecutive year that CSEA 399 members and CUSD have successfully negotiated for salary increases, demonstrating the commitment of both parties to valuing and rewarding the dedicated workforce that keeps the Calexico Unified School District running smoothly. On August 1, 2023 members of CSEA voted in favor of the contract agreement with Calexico Unified School District.

    Voting results

    • Yes – 328
    • No – 18
    • Abstain from voting – 1

    The last step of the deal came on August 24, 2023, when the Calexico School Board of Education voted unanimously with a resounding 5-0 in favor of the negotiated agreement. This decision effectively ratified the CSEA Tentative Agreement, Salary Schedule, and AB 1200 Disclosure of Proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 399 for Fiscal Years 2022/2023-2023/2024.

    This achievement not only reflects the unity and resilience of CSEA members but also highlights the proactive approach taken by the Calexico School Board of Education in recognizing the indispensable contributions of their workforce. It’s a win-win situation that not only enhances the livelihoods of these diligent workers but also strengthens the Calexico Unified School District as a whole.

    The commitment to fair compensation and collaborative negotiations displayed by both parties sets a shining example for other school districts and labor unions across California. This positive news underscores the importance of valuing the professionals who play an essential role in shaping the future of our children.

    The agreement will include:

    • 2022-2023: 5% ongoing salary schedule increase, retroactive to July 1, 2022.
    • 2023-2024: 7% ongoing salary schedule increase, retroactive to July 1, 2023.
    • The district will continue to fully fund health and welfare benefits for eligible employees for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school year.
    • Increase incentive from 20% to 25% with two additional one-time bonuses.

    Visit the contract Negotiation page for all negotiation details and timelines.

    As CSEA members celebrate this well-deserved victory, the entire community can look forward to a brighter future for the Calexico Unified School District, where the dedication and hard work of its employees are recognized and rewarded.
