Negotiations Update - SRVUSD and SEIU - SESSION 3 - June 30, 2026
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) negotiations teams met on June 30, 2026, for the third session of annual reopener negotiations.
The parties engaged in discussion on the following topics:
- Transportation
- Health and Welfare Benefits
- Retiree Benefits Trust
SEIU Proposals
- Maintain comparable or better services and fully paid similar or improved quality benefits;
- By replacing Kaiser with the District's designated base plan and lowest cost full family plan, the District can evaluate and negotiate benefit premium renewals without contractual limitation, improve flexibility and cost controls.
- The District does not aim to replace Kaiser, but rebidding services, whereas Kaiser has an opportunity to compete with other potential providers. Further, the District agrees to survey and find solutions for members presently covered whereas any special medical conditions can place their present care, health at jeopardy with a change from an assigned specialist.
District Proposals
- Extra work shall be offered using a rotating ‘Driver Seniority List’ to include Bus Drivers and Transportation Vehicle Drivers for extra work assignments.
-
- Extra work opportunities will be offered to eligible drivers in seniority order on a rotation basis to ensure an equitable distribution of assignments.
- A driver who has accepted, declined or was unavailable shall rotate to the bottom of the Driver Seniority List and shall not be offered another extra work assignment until the rotation has cycled through all other eligible drivers.
- Compensation for extra work will be based on the classification of the route or assignment being performed (e.g. a van route will be compensated at the van driver rate, a bus route will be compensated at the bus driver rate).
- New drivers will be added to the bottom of the Driver Seniority List based on the district seniority date.
- Drivers who leave the Transportation Department as a Bus Driver or Transportation Vehicle Driver will be removed from the Driver Seniority List.
Next Steps
The next negotiations session is scheduled for TBD. Topics to be discussed include:
