Negotiating Team

The members who make up our negotiating team are selected each year by the DTA president and approved by the representative council. This team meets with the district to represent school staff in negotiating the terms of employment contracts, called collective bargaining. The negotiating team for the 26-27 school year consists of:

  • Chair, JP Whitall
  • Julie Lohr Shelton
  • Miyuki Gutierrez Manzanedo
  • Snow Hernandez
  • Blair Howard
  • Cyndee Nikzad
  • CTA Primary Contact Staff Member: Sam Winslow
