AEA Bargaining Team Updates
October 10, 2025 Update
Dear Members,
Dear Members,
Thank you for the strong turnout Tuesday night at the School Board meeting. Your energy was palpable and your testimony was powerful! We also appreciate the work of the Organizing Committee in supporting the bargaining process by organizing Tuesday’s rally.
While the bargaining process is proceeding to non-binding interest arbitration, we can still continue talks with the District in the hope we can come to agreement on a contract that meets the needs of our members. We’ve heard you, and you want a deal as much as we do.
We met with the District today to exchange updated proposals. You can find the latest proposals, as well as all articles we have tentatively agreed to, at bit.ly/AEA25.
Building Reps will receive bargaining updates at Rep Council on Tuesday night. Check with your Building Rep to find out when your next building AEA meeting will be, and continue to monitor your personal email for additional updates from the Bargaining Team and the Organizing Committee.
In solidarity,
Your AEA Bargaining Team
