*CLASSIFIED – Updated information regarding the District’s VSP vision plan coverage: Classified, NUSD and CSEA negotiated a change in the VSP plan to provide frames and lenses every 12 months, rather than every 24 months, and this change to our plan coverage starts in the new plan year, starting October 1, 2024. Certificated are following up with their plan to negotiate a change in the following year, so certificated 2024/25 rates have been lowered.
