- All school bus and van drivers All school bus and transportation van drivers whose current bid/lock-in/FTE is less than 8 hours/day (i.e., full-time) will be offered the opportunity to increase their current bid/lock-in/FTE to 8 hours/day through June 30, 2026, the last regularly-scheduled workday of the 2025-26 school year.
- All drivers who elect to increase their bid/lock-in/FTE as described in 1) above will be provided the rights, benefits and burdens offered to full-time SEIU bargaining unit members as defined in the SRVUSD-SEIU CBA, including District contributions to health and welfare benefits.
