TVEA has concluded negotiations with the district.  A vote will take place after Spring Break.

Negotiation Process for the current Tentative Agreement

In November of 2007, the TVEA Bargaining Team identified contract items that needed language clarification along with the addition or removal of contract language. These areas included PLC, Hours, Kindergarten, Special Education, Compensation, and Transfers.

Ad-hoc committees were created from the general membership and met last year in order to provide anecdotes, collect data, and propose changes to the contract language in the areas mentioned above.

Trends emerged that affected multiple articles in the contract which created the bargaining priorities. The TVEA Bargaining Team then created proposals to present during negotiation sessions.

Although many proposals were discussed, not all reached a level of discussion where both parties agreed to the changes. Only the articles where both parties reached an understanding were included in the current Tentative Agreement.

As soon as the current contract is settled, the TVEA Bargaining Team will begin to organize for the next cycle.
