TENTATIVE AGREEMENT PSEA - 22-23 (Article VII Update) Executed 9.29.2022.pdf
Summary: On June 15, 2022, the governing board approved a Tentative Agreement between the Perris Union High School District (District) and the Perris Secondary Educators Association (PSEA) to increase the previously agreed upon salary increase from two (2%) to six and fifty-six one-hundredths percent (6.56%) for all certificated employees effective July 1, 2022. That agreement included contingency language stating, “The District and PSEA agree to reopen negotiations on compensation and benefits for 2022-23 if the Department of Finance statutory COLA with any augmentation or deficit as included in the final enacted state budget is greater than six and one-half percent (6.5%).” The Department of Finance statutory COLA was 6.56%, which exceeded the agreed-upon threshold and triggered further negotiations.

The District and PSEA met on September 22, 2022, and agreed to an ongoing six and forty-four one-hundredths percent (6.44%) to be applied to all salary schedules, effective January 1, 2023. This would be a total compounded salary increase of thirteen and forty-two one-hundredths percent (13.42%) for 2022-2023. Additionally, all unit members will receive a one-time off-schedule bonus payment of $4,000 on their November pay warrant.

Further details of the agreement are provided in the attached document.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2022-23 budget.
