Fresno Unified School District is moving forward with preparations to mitigate the impacts of a potential strike by the district’s 4,473 teachers after an apparent rejection of a state mediator’s proposed agreement last week.
District sources told GV Wire that last week’s fact-finding sessions by the Public Employment Relations Board panel culminated in a proposal by the state-appointed mediator that would boost teacher pay by more than 20% over the contract’s three years through a combination of annual pay hikes and one-time payments. The one-time payments in the second and third year of the contract would be tied to a reduction in the district’s contribution to the healthcare fund reserves.
The sources said the district supported the mediator’s recommended proposal.
