Bargaining Update
CVEU and CAVA have reached a tentative bargaining agreement. CVEU began preparation for bargaining for the 2024-2025 school year in March. In May, June, and July, CVEU met with CAVA for negotiations on Article 8 (Evaluation), Article 11 (Workday) and Article 13 (Compensation), aimed at improving working conditions for the 24-25 school year. A tentative agreement was reached in July.
​​
Next steps:
-
We will all meet in Zoom next week on 8/1 to go over the contract changes at 9:45am and 4pm. A clean recording will be sent out after 5pm.
-
Everyone will have one week to review the agreements, ask questions, and vote to ratify. Voting will close on Thurs, 8/8.
-
If our CVEU membership votes majority “yes” to ratification, the CAVA school boards will need to approve.
-
Our new contract goes into effect! We are hoping this will not be more than a week or two after school starts.

You can find a copy of CVEU and CAVA's proposed article changes here.
(Updated link, files include articles with new contract language and salary schedule.)
​​​
A few highlights: 1.5% on-schedule raise + an extra $2000 on the salary schedule, some solid improvements to Evaluations, improvements in Workday for SPED, ELD, and CTE, NO LIVE TEACHING INCREASE for GE, and more!​​
2024-2025 CVEU Goals

Association: Increase active membership

Communication: Increase interaction with internal and external stakeholders (all members, legislators, charter schools, school board members, etc.)
-
Bargaining: Actively pursue unilateral changes, collective action on bad practices, educating members about the contract
