Wow! No wonder the SAUSD can’t afford to pay their teachers…
And here is the SAEA’s latest call to action:
SAEA has worked diligently to show School Board members that the District has more than enough money to restore the 1.5% pay cut imposed on teachers, rescind all remaining RIF teachers and provide teachers with needed supplies. During October, SAEA met individually with School Board members and District Administration. Additionally, we have made presentations at School Board meetings and our conclusions were reviewed by the Orange County Department of Education and found to be “accurate.” Click on the link Email to School Board members to read the email I sent to School Board members during the weekend. Multi Year Projection table. Expenditures Table.
Furthermore, at yesterday’s Budget Special Study Session, the District and School Board members openly discussed pay-cuts and furlough days for 2010-11.
Take Action Now!
The School Board members will be making important Budget decisions on November 10th. They need to hear from teachers on how the unnecessary personnel and program cuts have affected you, both professionally and personally.
Our message must be loud and clear:
-
- You have the money to restore the 1.5% pay cut
- No more pay cuts or furlough days
- You have the money to provide teachers with needed classroom supplies
- You have the money to rescind RIF teachers and restore Class Size reduction in 3rd grade.
School Board members need to understand what is happening in your classroom: the money you have spent on supplies; the number of students in your class, unavailability of trained subs; etc.
SAEA’s goal is to have at least 300 teachers email School Board members. Please take the time to send each School Board member an email before November 10th and send me a copy so I can keep count.
