Dear East Side Employees,

The District and ESTA negotiating teams have reached a tentative agreement on an increase in salaries of 2% for 2025/2026. We will reopen negotiations for the 2026/2027 contract year. The lead negotiators want to thank all the members of both teams for their positivity and professionalism in representing their stakeholders while working towards a contract that continues our shared work of building equitable communities.

The tentative agreement next goes to the Santa Clara County Office of Education for review and the East Side Teachers Association members for ratification. If ratified by ESTA members, the contract will be brought to the East Side Union High School District Board of Trustees for approval.
 
Thank you,
Brandon Rosato (ESTA Chief Negotiator) and Ginny Davis (Associate Superintendent – Human Resources)

Dear East Side Employees,
 
The district and ESTA negotiating teams met today for a positive start in our first day of negotiations for 2021-2024. The teams established the logistics of negotiating via virtual meeting and sharing documents electronically as we continue to deal with the challenges of social distancing.
 
The teams brought various proposals centering around Article 15--Class Size and are scheduled to meet for the next two Wednesdays before determining future dates.
 
Both teams are looking forward to this process as part of building equitable communities.
