Nothing has changed.  The district and union are still negotiating the layoffs of classified personnel.  This process will most likely continue into July or even August before there is a resolution.  The union is still standing behind NO REDUCTION OF HOURS.  Each position is being considered individually.

The CSEA and District negotiating teams met on April 9, 2008 from 9:15 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
The CSEA team presented the district with an early retirement proposal we feel could make the district’s proposed lay-offs and reductions unnecessary. The district has asked for more information and agreed to explore this item further in our next negotiation sessions.
