Natomas Unified values and appreciates its employees. The District negotiates contracts/articles with associations representing its teachers and its classified staff. NUSD is committed to providing timely information to parents, employees and community stakeholders about the status of these negotiations. On this web page, you will find the latest information about negotiations, updates as they occur, and any relevant background information or financial data. Previous postings will be available as well, allowing you to track developments over a period of time.
Latest Update - March 16, 2026
We are providing Natomas Unified families with an update on negotiations with the Natomas Teachers’ Association (NTA).
We are in active negotiations but have not yet reached an agreement that would end the strike and restore normal classroom instruction for our students.
Please know that we are working hard to move this process forward and find a resolution.
Updated District Proposal:
Last night, we presented an updated proposal to NTA leadership. The updated proposal consists of a 4.25% ongoing increase over two years and an additional increase to the District’s health benefit contribution for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 benefit years. The monthly benefit increases are reflected in the chart below and can be applied to all NTA insurance options.
NUSD contributions
The District’s proposal also includes a commitment to establish a joint labor-management committee to explore other health insurance options to reduce employee contributions and improve future coverage options. The joint committee will inform the District and NTA leadership prior to the next negotiation cycle and beyond.
Overall, the District’s three-year proposal represents an estimated increase of $14 million toward NTA member salary and benefits.
We understand this strike is disruptive, but we are focused on bargaining with our students in mind, ensuring we’re protecting classroom investments and student programs and avoiding long-term financial commitments, particularly unpredictable health care costs, that would place the District’s financial stability at risk.
We ask the community to review credible information about the financial realities facing our district. When the District says NTA demands are unsustainable, we encourage families not to take our word for it alone. Read the independent fact finding report by a neutral third party, which warns that accepting the health and benefit demands of NTA could place the District at risk of fiscal insolvency.
While negotiations continue, schools will remain open, and the District will continue providing safe supervision, meals and curriculum for students.
We appreciate your support of Natomas schools and students.
