Negotiations Update - SRVUSD and SEIU - SESSION 2 - June 23, 2026
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) negotiations teams met on June 23, 2026, for the second session of annual reopener negotiations.
The parties engaged in discussion on the following topics:
- Transportation
- CalPERS 260 Day work day requirement for 12 month employees
- Benefits
TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS REACHED
- The SEIU salary schedule for twelve-month classified employees (July 1-June 30) during the 2025-2026 fiscal year and prior fiscal years, was based on a 261-work day work year, with an 8-hour day, which equates to 2088 hours or 174 hours per month.
- CalPERS now requires all school districts to comply with a 260-work day work days salary schedule for twelve-month employees (July 1-June 30). Specifically, CalPERS applies the following formulas for calculating twelve-month work year salary schedules (CalPERS Circular 200-014-24):
- 40 hours per week × 52 weeks per year = 2,080 hours per year.
- 40 hours per week × 52 weeks per year ÷ 12 months per year = 173.3333 hours per month.
- 2080 hours ÷ 8 hours=260 work days per year.
- Consistent with CalPERS requirements, the Parties desire to change the twelve-month 261-work days salary schedule to a twelve-month 260-work day work year salary schedule without a change in compensation by providing employees with an additional non-work day.
- 260 Work Days: Effective beginning July 1, 2026, the Parties agree that SEIU Unit Members assigned to work a twelve-month work year (July 1-June 30) shall be assigned to a 260-work day work year salary schedule instead of a 261-work day work year salary schedule.
- No Change to Annual Compensation: Effective beginning July 1, 2026, there shall be no change to annual compensation for twelve-month work year SEIU Unit Members, when the District decreases the twelve-month work year calendar from the 261-work day work year salary schedule to the twelve-month 260-work day work year salary schedule.
- Non-Duty Day: Effective beginning July 1, 2026, the Parties agree that the one unpaid non-work day that results from reducing the twelve-month work year salary schedule down by one day to 260-work days shall be added to the twelve-month work year calendar. The non-work day will be December 31.
District Proposals
Article XII, Section C. and D. will be revised as follows, to accomplish the following goals:
- Maintain fully district-paid benefits;
- By replacing “Kaiser” with “District’s designated base plan” and “lowest-cost full-family plan,” the District can evaluate and negotiate benefit premium renewals without contractual limitation, improve flexibility and cost controls.
- In the event the District is unable to offer at least two medical plan options for a plan year, including the designated base plan, the District shall promptly notify the Union. Upon such notification, the parties shall meet as soon as practicable to discuss and negotiate the impact of the change and any necessary modifications to the medical benefits provisions of this Agreement.
- The District shall fully cover full-time employees who select the lowest-cost full-family medical plan available to full-time employees, which will serve as the District's designated base plan as determined through the negotiated benefit package. The benefit package shall include at least two medical plan options.
- Employees who elect a medical plan other than the District’s designated base plan shall be responsible for paying the difference between the cost of the designated base plan and the cost of the employee-selected medical plan option.
Next Steps
The next negotiations session is scheduled for June 30, 2026. Topics to be discussed include:
- Transportation
- Vacation
