The Pacifica School District Board of Trustees on June 24 approved tentative collective bargaining agreements with the district’s certificated and classified units and accepted the required public disclosure forms for both deals.
Rachel, who presented the agreements to the board, described the tentative agreement with the Laguna Salada Education Association (LSEA) as the product of year‑long negotiations. She said the teacher agreement includes a 3% salary increase for 2025–26 (effective retroactively to July 1, 2025), removal of a prior‑experience cap effective July 1, 2026, an increase in hourly rates and site stipends, and a joint district‑LSEA committee to study potential salary schedule restructuring. "When it came to compensation ... the goal wasn't just a payout, but a strategic move to rejuvenate staff morale," Rachel said.
Rachel also summarized the tentative agreement with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) Chapter 128. That deal includes 3% increases for both 2025–26 and 2026–27, a reclassification and pay adjustments for several information‑technology roles, and a clause allowing CSEA to reopen compensation if other bargaining units receive larger offers. Rachel said both packages were ratified by membership and that the costs have been incorporated into the district’s multi‑year budget assumptions.
Dusty Nubbet explained the required public disclosure forms and said the one‑year compensation costs for the teacher agreement are funded by the district’s new parcel tax; the county office has received the disclosure within the 10‑day submission requirement. The board approved both the tentative agreements and their disclosures unanimously.
The agreements were presented as part of a broader effort to stabilize morale and operations while the district addresses structural budget challenges; board members noted the agreements must still fit within the adopted multi‑year budget and the upcoming 45‑day revision process.
