AUSD–ATA Contract Negotiations Update

Albany Unified School District (AUSD) and the Albany Teachers Association (ATA) are engaged in negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement covering wages, benefits, hours, class size, evaluations, and working conditions. See detailed updates about negotiations on the Negotiation Updates webpage of the AUSD website. 


To support transparency, AUSD has shared enrollment data, facility constraints, and preliminary fiscal projections. Several tentative agreements have been reached, including updates to contract language, transfer timelines, Children’s Center provisions, and evaluation processes.


Negotiations are ongoing in key areas such as salary, health benefits, preparation time, and class size and caseloads. No changes to current staffing, class sizes, or programs are being implemented this school year.


AUSD will continue negotiations and provide updates to the community as agreements are reached.
