2 Page 2 of 6 II. Open Agenda A. Tentative Agreement: Salary rollback 1. Expires June 2012 a. Agreement was for 2 years: ; b. Teachers paid for 180 days; 8 day furlough 2. Salaries are restored to levels a was first year of rollback: 2.7% b. Teachers will be paid for 188 days but work year will be 186 days. When does our contract end? Our contract is a living document. It is always open to negotiation. Some other districts have Closed contracts where once the contract has been negotiated, items cannot be revisited for the term of the contract. By law we must have a documented end date on our contract but we are always in negotiations. That is why we have MOU s (Memorandum Of Understanding). Our last printed contract has an end date of June 2009 but that does not mean it is not in effect. When we revisit our contract, it is to roll identified MOUs (some MOUs have end dates) into the contract language and/or make changes based on changes in the law. We are about to begin the process of revisiting the contract and rolling some of the MOUs into the contract. Are the students going back to 180 days? I don t know. --Is the district going to make that decision? Reducing the student year was an option given to districts by the State Legislature as a budget measure. Some districts that could afford to stay at 180 days did so and others did not. Secretary s note: Some districts who continue to have 180 days are Basic Aid districts. Basic Aid districts are able to keep the local property taxes to fund education. When you rewrite the contract are you going to present the MOUs rolling into the contract to the Rep Council or will you just decide what s going in? Which MOUs? --The MOUs on [Non Student Contact Time] All the MOUs connected to the Tentative Agreement: Non-Student Contact Time, Kindergarten Transition Days and others, expire with the Tentative Agreement and will need to be re-examined. Most of them were written with the idea of reducing the teacher workload due to the reduction in days and increased class sizes. We need to establish whether or not the need for those MOUs still exists. Will [the Rep Council] be presented with those MOUs before the next negotiations? The next IBPS is in February and we are not at the point of negotiating those MOUs yet. Are we going to have any say in the start date of the [ ] school year? Currently we are starting on a Monday and starting on a Wednesday would be much better for students. The Calendar Committee includes parents, representative from the community and other employee unions, as well as the district and PFT. We can offer our input but the Calendar Committee makes the final decision. We do not have the final say. There are also other factors that impact scheduling the start date: the end date, holidays, religious observances, school events. We do give our input and that input is given consideration but we don t have the final say. We fought it and we lost. --But there was a time when we voted on different calendars Yes, there was. About 15 years ago, there was a vote. Don Raczka sent out VHS tapes detailing the choices, teachers voted and the Rep Council was preparing to put forth the teacher recommendation for the school year calendar. However, one site was not happy with the results and on behalf of the teachers at that site, their rep demanded at the Rep Meeting that PFT revisit the issue and present the choices to the teachers again. A vote was taken among the reps. The vote was split with one vote the
3 Page 3 of 6 deciding factor in going back and revisiting the issue. The District refused to revisit the calendar and instead presented a Student calendar. PFT filed an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charging the district did not have the right to essentially impose a schedule on the teachers. The ULP went to an Administrative Law Judge who ruled in favor of the district, saying that determining the Student Schedule was outside the scope of negotiations and therefore the district had the legal right to determine the student calendar without the input or approval of the teachers. --We do put forward the teachers concerns around start date and end dates but there are a lot of moving parts and they do listen but again there are a lot of moving parts to determining the calendar. II. PFT/Principals meeting see Agenda Attachment 2 A. Scheduled for February Due to space restrictions, attendance is limited. a. Elementary: 1 rep per site b. Middle School: 2 reps per site c.

CA is 46 th in nation in educational spending b. Social services slashed c. State General Fund spending reduced by 15% over 3 years d. State Budget reduced from $102 to $82 billion What will happen to the Legislators who sign the No New Taxes Pledge and decide that circumstances warrant voting for a new tax? There is no legal punishment but the Republican party has been known to bring in candidates to oppose members of their own party who do not follow the party line and actively campaign against them. C. CA Budget Project Report 1. From : Gaines of Highest Bracket of Income Tax Payers increased by 106.4% 2. Top 1% of the population s share of state income doubled while their tax rates were lowered. 3. Over 30 years economic inequality has increased a. 1% share of state income has quadrupled over 30 years. b. Own one-third of country s wealth c. Average yearly income of 1% : $1.8 million/year d. Extension of 2010 Federal Tax cuts increased the 1% income by $9-$14 billion a year.
5 Exactly how many people are the 1% in California? CA has a population of about 37 million. 1% of that is about 300,000. Page 5 of 6 V. CFT Initiative: The Millionaires Tax A. Goal: To have people who earn in excess of $1 million/year to pay their fair share of taxes. B. Proposal 1. Additional 3% after 1 st million a. 3 cents on the dollar=$30, Additional 5% after 2 nd million b. 5 cents on the dollar=$50,000 (30K from first million and additional $20,000 after 2 nd million) 3.

Cost to average tax payer: $ Provides stable funding for education, social services and maintenance of infrastructure. E. Research done by Tulchin Reasearch 1. Extensive amount of public opinion research including 16 focus groups of swing voters and numerous telephone surveys of likely voters 2. Voters believe rich have become richer and do not pay fair share of taxes F. Opposition 1. Businesses will leave CA if we raise their taxes a. Most millionaires are not businessmen b. Most millionaires make their money through capital gains 2. Businesses will pass on their increased taxes to the consumer by increasing prices a. Consumers bearing the higher burden of taxes will have less disposable income and purchase less so Businesses will have less profit. i) This statement expressed by Noble Prize winning economists b. Two-thirds of the economy is supported by consumer spending G. Other tax initiatives 1. Definitions: Regressive vs. Progressive taxes a.

6 Page 6 of 6 4. Think Long a. Reduces personal income taxes for all, extends sales taxes, reduces corporate tax rate b. Essentially continues loopholes and protections for those not currently paying their fair share. H. Participation and Support 1. Will be asking teachers to actively educate parents, friends, and neighbors 2. If CFT finds that their initiative is not viable, then CFT will support the Governor s initiative proposal. You said the state is not broke and that there is money in the state. It sounds like the state has funds and we just need to find a way to access them [instead of raising taxes]. When I say the state has money, I mean the people of the state, those that are living in the state. Is it possible that all those initiatives will get on the ballot? That could happen. Conflicting ballot measures have been on the ballot before. The people could vote the best one in or they could be so confused that they vote no on all of them. Is there any state that has higher taxes on the wealthy than we do? Yes. New Jersey and New York. However, CA has the highest percentage of billionaires living in the state. Would a letter campaign to the Governor help? Yes. It would. Meeting adjourned: 5:30 p.m. Next meeting: February 9, 2012 Submitted by Naomi Lukaszewski, PFT Secretary
