Union Resources

Welcome to the Lake Elsinore Teachers Association, where we are committed to supporting our members through strong union representation and a variety of valuable resources. We offer union support tools such as the current contract, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), salary schedules, and other essential documents to ensure transparency, fairness, and professional support in the workplace.

Academic Calendars

Academic calendars outline key dates for the school year—such as start and end dates, holidays, and breaks—and are negotiated annually as part of the collective bargaining process. They provide a clear structure to help students, educators, and families stay organized and informed.

Association Rules

Contracts

Teacher union contracts are legally binding agreements negotiated between the union and the school district that define the terms and conditions of employment. They cover areas such as salaries, benefits, working conditions, grievance procedures, and professional rights.

Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)

Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) are agreements between the teacher union and the school district that address specific issues or temporary changes not covered in the main contract. They are typically used to clarify, modify, or supplement contract terms in response to unique or evolving circumstances.

Salary Schedules

Salary schedules are structured pay charts that outline how teachers are compensated based on their years of experience and level of education. They ensure transparent and consistent pay progression, reflecting negotiated agreements between the union and the school district.

Ovations

Ovation Awards are special recognitions given by the union to honor members who demonstrate outstanding dedication, leadership, or service to their students, colleagues, or the profession. These awards celebrate the positive impact union members make within their schools and the broader educational community.

Advocacy Resources

Education Code

Education Code references provide the legal framework that governs public education in California, outlining the rights, responsibilities, and standards for educators, students, and school districts. The Lake Elsinore Teachers Association uses these codes to support member advocacy, ensure contract compliance, and guide professional practice.

Immigration Rights

The Lake Elsinore Teachers Association supports immigration rights by advocating for fair treatment, safety, and equal access to education for all students and families, regardless of immigration status. Through partnerships and education, LETA promotes awareness and resources that empower members and the community to stand up for immigrant rights.

LGBTQ+

The Lake Elsinore Teachers Association advocates for LGBTQ+ rights by promoting inclusive policies, safe learning environments, and equitable treatment for all students and educators. LETA stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community to support dignity, visibility, and protections both in schools and the broader educational system.
