"It's time for Dublin Unified to reprioritize the budget, support Dublin kids and start putting our students at the center of every financial decision they make. If Superintendent (Chris) Funk and the school board won't commit to the best for Dublin students, DTA will go on strike Monday, March 9, until Dublin Unified provides the resources all Dublin students deserve."
"Facing a budget deficit of $8.4 million, the district's Board of Trustees is deciding whether to trim $5 million by eliminating another 30 full-time teaching and 12 substitute jobs after previously approving $6.8 million in budget cuts and the elimination of several other positions at its Jan. 27 meeting."
"Working without a raise for the last two years, union officials are asking for a salary increase for all members, fully covered health care and a reduction in class sizes."
Hundreds of Dublin teachers will strike Monday, March 9, protesting proposed budget cuts and teacher layoffs. The Dublin Teachers Association and Dublin Unified School District have been in contentious contract negotiations since the previous contract expired in June 2025. The district faces an $8.4 million budget deficit and proposes eliminating 30 full-time teaching positions and 12 substitute jobs, following $6.8 million in cuts approved in January. Union President Brad Dobrzenski demands the district prioritize students in financial decisions. Teachers, who have worked without raises for two years, seek salary increases, fully covered health care, and reduced class sizes. Most schools will operate on adjusted schedules during the strike, with no new content introduced.
