Bargaining Updates
November 30, 2010 -- The Board and the Association
have signed offon a memorandum of understanding stipulating the
reinstatement of a total of 5.5 furlough days for the 2009-2010
school year. The agreement also restores the
salary schedules to .6 percent
reduction from the 2008-2009 rather than a 3.6 percent
reduction in salary. The implementation of the increased salary will
begin on the first check in January. The retroactive pay from the
beginning of the year will be received no later than the end of
February. K-12 Bargaining Unit members will work five additional
days in 2011 for the increased salary: Monday, April
25 (instructional/with
students) Monday-Thursday, June 27-30 (staff development/not with
students) The .5
remaining day will be the first staff development day of 2010-2011.
An additional half day will not be added to the calendar, instead
the language guaranteeing no more than 150 minutes of meetings on
the first day of work was rescinded. Meetings may be scheduled
throughout the day according to the administrator’s judgment. The 2011-2012
salary continues to include a 3.6 percent reduction in salary from
the 2008-2009 schedules. The calendars now include the order of
restoration of days if salaries are increased according to the
negotiated formula based on the base revenue limit received by the
District. More will be known once the State budget is adopted in
summer 2011. No RIF
