For the first time in Natomas Unified's history, an overwhelming number of teachers who are part of the Natomas Teachers' Association (NTA) voted "yes" to a strike if the school district does not budge on its budget.
Some of NTA's key demands include competitive wages, fully-paid benefits, better safety procedures for students and educators, lower class sizes, increased special education supports and more.
During the 2024 to 2025 school year, the average salary for Natomas Unified teachers was just under $91,000, according to the California Department of Education; meanwhile, neighboring district Twin Rivers Unified was at $98,000 and Sacramento City Unified teachers were making over $109,000.
"They have the ability to reprioritize their budget," Vaccaro said.
"We, of course, want to support our teachers and credentialed staff, who are the backbone of our schools," said Natomas Unified School Board President Micah Grant in a statement. "What concerns us is when demands begin to overshadow local realities... Entertaining proposals that aren't fiscally sustainable would inevitably lead to cuts that directly affect students."
"We don't take this strike vote lightly," said Vacarro.
"Enough is enough and we are asking them to figure it out," said Vacarro.
Both the teachers and the district hope it won't come to that.
