The Pleasanton Unified School District board is set to vote on a tentative employment agreement with its classified staff that includes updates to work-year calendars, clarifications on overtime distribution and an updated vacation accrual provision. The agreement also suspends a professional-growth compensation program for one year, to be reinstated in July 2027.
The board will review the agreement with the Classified School Employees Association Chapter 155 at its Thursday meeting.
Other policies that were updated, according to the contract, include evaluation procedures, leaves of absence and reclassification.
The agreement also includes a “me too” clause that would be applied to classified employee salaries if the Association of Pleasanton Teachers negotiates a larger salary increase, according to a staff report prepared for the meeting.
In addition to the tentative contract agreement, the board will separately vote on approving a Memorandum of Understanding between CSEA Chapter 155 and the school district that reinstates degree stipends for classified employees during the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The suspension of the one-time stipends was originally included in the district’s multi-million-dollar budget reduction plan last year. However, the board’s 2026-27 budget, adopted in June, included $11.685 million in new one-time state funding.
The board decided in August to use that money in a variety of ways, including bringing back the stipend.
The board’s open-session meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 8). Read the full agenda here.
In other business:
The board will vote on a resolution to waive the teacher credential requirement for incoming Superintendent Ed Diolazo. Diolazo was appointed to the position last month and is set to take over Jan. 1.
According to board policy, candidates must hold both a valid school administration certificate and a valid teacher’s certificate in order to be considered for the superintendent job. However, the board may waive those requirements. The staff report notes that Diolazo holds an administrative services credential and a pupil personnel services credential, “which support his qualifications for the position of superintendent.”
