McSwain Union Elementary School District Home

Hello McSwain Community,

I hope you are well. I am pleased to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations with our CSEA (California School Employees Association) unit here on campus and have reached a tentative agreement. On behalf of the District Office, I want to thank the bargaining team for their dialogue, discussion, and the ongoing partnership between the district and CSEA. I am pleased that we were able to conclude this process collaboratively.

I look forward to continuing to work alongside our classified members as we close out this school year and prepare to open the next school year in August.

Best,
Mr. Pannu

Hello McSwain Community,

The District has officially begun negotiations with the McSwain Teachers’ Association (MTA). As always, we remain committed to negotiating in an open, honest, and collaborative manner, with the goal of compensating our teachers as competitively as possible while maintaining the long-term fiscal health of the District.

We would like to thank both negotiation teams as we embark on this process. We appreciate the respectful and constructive relationship between the District and the MTA negotiating team.

We will continue to keep our community informed as talks progress. Additional information will also be posted on the District website as the process moves forward.

Respectfully,
Mr. Pannu
Superintendent
