At the end of March, Vacaville Unified employees will receive two checks, their regular monthly pay and some back pay, the latter following district trustees’ unanimous approval Thursday of a 2.5 percent pay hike retroactive to July 1, 2016.
The contract agreements between several district employee groups came after extensive negotiations.
The new wage-and-benefit pacts affect the 680-member Vacaville Teachers Association, more than 450 members of the Local 1021 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents the district’s classified, or school-support, employees (bus drivers, cafeteria workers, maintenance staff, some clerical staff, among them), and several dozen district administrators, management and confidential employees that are not represented by a union.
