To All Members of the Pittsburg Unified School District:
We are notifying our school community that the District is beginning negotiations with our certificated association. We are committed to being transparent about this process and the district’s budget. We post our bargaining updates on the district’s website:
https://www.pittsburg.k12.ca.us/site/Default.aspx?PageID=5569
.
During the negotiating process, representatives from the Pittsburg Education Association meet with a team that represents the District. Below is a list of names on the negotiating teams. The Administration appreciates these individuals for the time they put into studying and discussing employment conditions.
District Representatives
Norma Gonzales, Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources,
Angela Stevenson, Principal, Martin Luther King, Jr. JHS,
Sonya Marturano, Finance Director,
Josh Stevens, Attorney at Fagen, Friedman, & Fulfrost LLP.
Certificated Teacher Representatives,
Pittsburg Education Association (PEA)
Andrea McKinney, Chris Coan, Jeff Greco, Melonie Saucedo-Flemming, Alicia Puzak, Tammy Carr, & Rosemary Louissaint, California Teachers Association Representative.
Over the past four years, our Board of Education has set the expectation of ensuring our employees have competitive compensation packages. This has resulted in a 20% salary increase since the 2014/2015 School Year for our certificated and classified staff. Pittsburg Unified School District remains competitive in teacher salaries within Contra Costa County.
We appreciate and value our dedicated employees and the time they devote to helping our children thrive and achieve success throughout their educational journey at PUSD. The District is committed to working with the bargaining units in negotiation sessions that are collaborative, positive, and productive.
Our website
will continually have updates on the State Budget, our District Budget, and negotiations.
Respectfully,
PUSD Administration
Every Scholar, Every Day. They Deserve Nothing Less Than Our Best.
