Recent FRA Meeting Highlights

• Budget impacts, transfers, etc. - HEA will be reviewing the District’s process and protocols regarding transfers and reassignments ensuring that contractual and ed code rights are upheld. Please forward any questions or concerns to HEA and we will respond accordingly.

 

• Bargaining-  as promised at FRA, and in anticipation of creating proposals for the bargaining table, we have included an electronic bargaining input survey. This year the entire contract is open for negotiations so please consider all aspects of our work - class size, transfers,compensation, safety etc. In terms of the funds for proposals, the bargaining team will consider the “Governor’s May revise” (the proposed state budget “revised” by the Governor) revenues from the Parcel Tax ( if it passes). Please encourage members to fill the survey out and get it back to the bargaining team by April 15th. The more information and input, the better the proposals and tentative agreements will be!

 

• Parcel Tax - After much discussion and consideration, FRA voted to support the District's proposed parcel Tax. In essence, the Parcel tax would go on the June ballot, would be a flat rate of $98/parcel, for 12 years, with an annual anticipated amount of $4 million/ year. Unlike Bonds, the monies can go towards the classroom - including academic, teachers and support staff. We have included the ballot text here. We anticipate being part of the campaign committee and supporting the campaign by publicizing it to our colleagues, families, and community members. In the next few weeks, we will be providing more details on how people can support this campaign. We have also asked to be members on the Oversight committee. The parcel tax revenue would  provide a consistent and reliable source of new income to our general fund that can support all of our work and provide the support students need. Please consider ways you can actively help pass this parcel tax for our schools.
