Contract negotiations between the Travis School District and its teachers got started – officially – Tuesday as trustees approved a request to accept the Travis Unified Teachers’ Association initial proposal for items to consider for the 2023-2024 school year, then forwarded their own objectives.

Negotiations cover salary and benefits along with elementary preparation/planning, common planning days and adjunct duty. Travis trustees also heard about proposed changes related to teacher prep time, physical education class sizes, and cost-of-living levels and medical benefits.
