ATTENTION MEMBERS:

IMPASSE DECLARED May 27, 2010 !

After five days of Bargaining, the Association declared Impasse at 3:43 pm on May 27. A Federal Mediator has been contacted and we are waiting for mediation dates to be scheduled. Articles which we will take to mediation are:

.

Article 19-Salaries and Benefits;

Article 13-Transfers;

Article 11-Teaching Load;

Article 14-Student Discipline;

New Article-Transformation/Turn Around Schools.

We are waiting for health insurance rate information. Depending on how that information looks, in the fall we will re-open bargaining for Article 8.

Although we repeatedly asked the district for the “Big Picture”--- the plan for Pueblo City Schools, to date, we have not received this information. It is ludicrous to ask teachers to give up steps and lanes and more without being able to explain how the rest of the district, including administration will be impacted.

There was one victory: Agreement was reached on the Early Release MOU for the 2010-2011 school year……….

EVERY OTHER FRIDAY, early release time will be individual planning time for teachers!

This means that no meetings or other duties can be required on these days.... this time is for TEACHER directed planning.
