PLEASANTON – Teachers are negotiating with the Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) for a 15% pay increase, with both parties saying they are committed to reaching an agreement soon.
In the days after reports of an unidentified man being spotted at Lydiksen, PUSD personnel told the Weekly they were able to confirm that he was actually an authorized contractor who works for a pest control company.
Lydiksen Elementary School parents were recently made aware of two situations that took place late last week -- an unexpected visit from federal law enforcement agents on Friday and an unidentified man being spotted on campus Saturday.
Pleasanton Unified has mostly completed its transition to its new headquarters at West Las Positas Boulevard -- with the exception of a few departments -- and will be set to host the first school board meeting there on Nov. 9.
But there also was encouraging news: Many schools have stepped up their preparedness in recent months, according to a new Bay Area News Group survey of 33 districts.
