Message from President Carol Peek

Picture

 Hello Everyone,
My name is Carol Peek, and I am the proud president of VESPA. It is an honor to represent the educational support professionals (ESPs) of the Ventura Unified School District.
VESPA, along with our union siblings VUEA, has officially declared IMPASSE. This pertains to Article 19 - Layoffs and Article 20 - Total Compensation. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all who attended our VUEA/VESPA End of the Year Rally on May 29, 2026. Your turnout was remarkable! The next step is mediation. Both the unions and the district have agreed upon a mutual party to facilitate the meetings, which will take place on July 9th and 10th.
Now, more than ever, we need to support each other. Your presence and participation show your commitment to fighting for what is right for all union members. We are the foundation and heart of VUSD. We are essential to the students we serve. Stronger than ever, stronger TOGETHER!
​Have a wonderful summer!
