Sac City and teachers union reaches deal
The Sacramento City Unified School District and the Sacramento City Teachers Association are expected to announce a two-year agreement Monday that preserves class sizes and saves pink slipped teachers and counselors.
District officials said details of the agreement will not be available until Monday, while specific impacts will be hammered out in the coming weeks. The deal still needs to be ratified by union members.
The district and teachers union hope to maintain 25 students per teacher in kindergarten through third grade classes, according to a press release. The agreement is also expected to save many middle and high school counselor positions.
"I am extremely proud of our entire district today," said district Superintendent Jonathan Raymond in a press release. "This announcement illustrates a commitment by both sides to stand together as we weather uncertain financial times, regardless of how long they may last."
Union members will vote on the agreement on Monday. It will then go to the school board for final approval later
