District, Teachers Reach Tentative Pact
The Santa Monica-Malibu School district and teachers’ union members reached a tentative agreement for a two-year contract Thursday night.
The agreement includes salary increases and improved health and dental benefits for all union members and better opportunities for teacher training, said June Lucas, president of Santa Monica-Malibu Classroom Teachers’ Assn.
Lucas and school board President Robert Holbrook said the negotiations, which began in April, were “friendly and constructive.”
Details of the agreement will not be released until teachers have been notified of them early next week, Lucas said.
The union represents about 500 teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians.
