68 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION- NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments in Favor of Proposition No. 437 STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNING BOARD This year, the District s budget fell to a low of $79.3 million. In 2009, our budget was $96.7 million. We have lost $17.4 million in six years. State cuts to the education budget forces school districts to turn to their local community to continue the financial support needed to sustain quality programs and to recruit and retain the best and brightest teachers and staff. The proposed Override will allow Sunnyside to support our excellent teachers and staff by keeping their pay equitable with districts that currently have Override funds. Our district is one of the few in Pima County without the revenue that an Override provides. We need Override funding to support and expand programs like physical education and athletics, to restore family and wellness resources, to maintain full day kindergarten and pre-school, and to reduce class sizes. Additionally, the Board has called for fiscal accountability by formulating a community oversight committee for the Override funds. As we call upon you to support the programs to be funded through the Override, we will ask for volunteers to participate on the Override Oversight Committee that will fulfill the external accountability role for these funds. The Sunnyside Unified School District Governing Board Daniel Hernandez, Jr., Board President Buck Crouch, Board Clerk Eva Carrillo Dong Eric Giffin Beki Quintero 7

69 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION- NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments in Favor of Proposition No. 437 You have a voice. Together, our voices are powerful enough to change our community s future. Because voters said yes to an $88 million bond, our students have had access to technology in classes, at home and even on our school buses. I am grateful and proud to be part of a community that values education and supports schools in giving our children the opportunities they need to fulfill their potential. This year, the District s budget was reduced by $2.7 million, and the most recent override is no longer in effect. The community voted for a bond that was approved in November 2011, but the bond cannot be used to pay for salaries. If we do not approve a new override in November 2015, the budget will continue to fall short of our students needs. We could lose employees and services for children and families including preschool, full-day kindergarten and athletics. We will continue to struggle to be competitive with salaries for our very deserving staff, and our class sizes will continue to grow. These programs have helped our children and community be healthy, engaged and competitive throughout life. Say YES to our community s future, by voting YES to our override. Eva Carrillo Dong As chairperson of the Sunnyside Literacy Council, a lifelong member of the Sunnyside Community and a Sunnyside alumna, I understand the importance of the Override to our schools and the community. It is our responsibility as members of this community to provide our children with a high quality education and with the cuts in funding that have come down from the State Legislature this has become an impossible task without the Override. Our classrooms are crowded, our teachers are working for substandard pay, as are their support staff, and we have not been able to keep full time music, art and librarians in the elementary schools. The Override funding will allow these things to be turned around. It is up to the Community to make our schools top notch. Ada M. Adams 8

70 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION - NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments in Favor of Proposition No. 437 (cont d) As a lifelong member of the Sunnyside community, a Sunnyside alumnus and Member of the Governing Board I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of high-quality schools. Education is the key to personal success for our young people and economic well-being for our community. I have listened to your concerns; we now have quality leadership truly dedicated to the education of our children. Approval of the Override will have a big impact on the quality of education and services we provide to the community we live in. Without it, our students and families may lose precious education programs and highly-qualified teachers and staff that care for our children every day. Override funding allows us to retain excellent teachers and staff. Our schools lost full-time music, art and librarians in the elementary schools because of declines in State funding. We need to reduce our class sizes to teachable levels. An override will have a positive economic impact on our community. High-quality schools increase the value of our homes, the safety of our neighborhoods and our quality of life. Please join me in voting for this override so our children so will be college and career ready. Buck Crouch The Sunnyside Education Association (SEA) endorses the passage of the override. Recent cuts to education funding have resulted in the loss of over $12 million from our district s operating budget. These cuts have resulted in larger class sizes, loss of full time librarians at elementary schools, reduction of elementary and secondary music and arts programs, loss of Career & Technical Education programs, and an increase in athletic fees. These cuts have compromised our district s ability to hire and retain quality teachers and staff. These cuts are hurting and will continue to hurt our students. We urge you to vote YES on the override initiative. A yes vote is a vote for lower class sizes and librarian at every school. A yes vote will allow us to reinstate vigorous music and arts programs. A yes vote is for Career & Technical Education and athletic programs. A yes vote is for quality teachers and staff. A yes vote is a vote for the children of Sunnyside Unified School District. Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter. Mary Martinez, President Sunnyside Education Association 9

71 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION- NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments in Favor of Proposition No. 437 (cont d) I have listened and sought input from the community regarding the override. Some of you say we must work within the budget we have just like homeowners do. I say yes, we can do that however, if we do then the following will have to be cut from the budget in order for us to make that happen: All day Kindergarten (state only pays for ½ day); Counselors, Nurses, Music, Art and Physical Education would also be eliminated. All these are considered extra and are not funded by the state. The override helps cover the salaries of these positions and will make sure our children receive the education they deserve. In the home we give our children things they need to survive; food, a home, time and love. In school we must give them the quality education they deserve. Teachers are deserving of a livable wage and we must ensure that we pay our quality teachers a decent wage so they will remain in our district. The compensation study we completed clearly shows that our classified staff also deserves raises. Our community will only get better if we educate our children to the best of our ability. Thank you Beki Quintero The Sunnyside District has seen many changes since I was a student here. Today I have the honor of serving as President of the board and have nieces and nephews attending our schools. I have seen firsthand the impact 17 million dollars in cuts have had to our community. We ve had to make painful cuts because of the state legislature. But now we are at a crossroads where we have a choice to invest in our own community despite what the legislature has done. This override is not simply a much needed source of revenue for the district it is a commitment to the next generation. A commitment that we will take things into our own hands and not wait for a legislature that doesn t care about our community. From protecting all-day kindergarten, to restoring cut positions and programs. A new override will have a positive economic impact on our community. High-quality schools increase the value of our homes, the safety of our neighborhoods and the quality of life in our community. Supporting Sunnyside District schools is a wise investment in our future. Daniel Hernandez Jr. President Sunnyside Unified School District 10

72 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION- NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments in Favor of Proposition No. 437 (cont d) I urge you to VOTE YES in support of the families and students of Sunnyside School District. This Override is an investment in our children, teachers and the programs that help our children to succeed. The District has lost $17.6 million since 2008 from loss of override and ongoing cuts to education. Let s change the downward trend and begin looking to the future. The Override gives the District the ability to expand critical programs to meet increased demands. By voting YES, students will have much needed access to career and technical opportunities and reduced class sizes. Sunnyside needs to retain and attract talented and high quality educators. A YES vote gives the District the tools it needs to make sure it has committed and talented teachers. Voting YES creates a better learning environment and stronger community. Sunnyside has been a leader in technology because it helps students be prepared to succeed. This Override gives Sunnyside the opportunity to continue to invest in the community s future. With these funds comes the responsibility of accountability to voters. The District has promised to put into place important oversight processes to ensure accountability and community participation. VOTE YES- for the community s prosperity. Lisa Lovallo Cox Communications My name is Roxana Rico. I m leading the efforts to pass this override this year as the chair of the committee because I believe in our community. I currently reside in our community, am alumnus of Sunnyside, have children in our district, and have been an educator in the district for many years. Our Sunnyside community is a special place. It s why I ve chosen to stay in Sunnyside and work to improve the lives of our students. Our community, students and staff deserve every opportunity to succeed. Our greatest resource in Sunnyside is our staff. Despite the challenges we ve faced, we ve had hard working and dedicated individuals who work day in and day out to ensure our students are provided the quality instruction they deserve and need. Now, I m asking you to help us take care of those who take care of our students. At a time when we face new challenges, we need to be recuiting and retaining the best staff possible. This override will allow competititive salaries that will ensure our ability to recruit and retain the best staff. Help us keep Sunnyside a place where people want to work and grow their families. Vote YES in November. Roxana Rico 11

73 SUNNYSIDE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 SPECIAL ELECTION- NOVEMBER 3, 2015 Arguments Against Proposition No. 437 STOP: UNAFFORDABLE TAX INCREASES & MISUSE OF PROPERTY TAXES!! VOTE NO : This year, SUSD12 Claims that State Funds have been cut and are forcing SUSD12 to turn to the local community in order to continue financial support, which includes keeping quality programs, recruit & retain best/brightest teachers and staff along with providing equitable salaries. However, SUSD12 is using information from 2010 to justify asking for a HIGHER TAX RATE from residential and business owners paying property to make up for the CONTINUED MISMANAGEMENT and LACK OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY (ability to use taxpayer money wisely). Alex Richards STOP: UNAFFORDABLE TAX INCREASES & MISUSE OF PROPERTY TAXES!! VOTE NO TO HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES!!! This year, SUSD once again claims that State cuts are forcing SUSD12 to turn to the local community and district property owners in order to continue the financial support, which includes keeping quality programs, recruitment & retaining the best and brightest teachers/staff along with equitable salaries. However SUSD12 is using old data from SY2010 to justify a higher amount of revenue not received, thus asking property residents and business owners to dig deeper into their financial pockets to give SUSD12 additional tax dollars to fund Maintenance & Operations. Each and every year SUSD has squandered & misspent money to employ additional administrators, coordinators & specialists at higher salaries thus ignoring the classroom teachers, employees that impact directly the Children PreK-12 Grades! Misuse of Voter Approved Bonds is a prime example of how SUSD12 with an Oversight Committee continued to misuse that now DUPLICATION OF NEEDS as requested by SUSD Board Members & supported by SUSD Supt & Cabinet Members & Leaders.

86 DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO NUM. 12 DE SUNNYSIDE ELECCION ESPECIAL 3 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015 Argumentos a favor de la Proposición Núm. 437 DECLARACION DE LA JUNTA DE GOBIERNO Este año, el presupuesto del Distrito cayó a unos n punto bajo de $79.3 millones. En el 2009, nuestro presupuesto fue de $96.7 millones. Hemos perdido $17.4 millones en seis años. Los recortes del estado al presupuesto de educación fuerza a los distritos escolares a dirigirse a sus comunidades locales para continuar el apoyo financiero necesario para mantener los programas de calidad y para reclutar y retener a los mejores y más brillantes profesores y personal manteniendo sus salarios equitativos con los distritos que actualmente tienen fondos de rebase. Nuestro distrito es uno de los pocos en el Condado de Pima sin los ingresos que proporcionan los rebases. Necesitamos la financiación de rebase para mantener y ampliar programas tales como educación física y deportes, para restablecer los recursos de bienestar y familiares, para mantener el jardín de niños y preescolar durante todo el día y para reducir el tamaño de las clases. Además, la Junta ha pedido responsabilidad fiscal formulando un comité de supervisión de la comunidad para los fondos del Rebase. Al recurrir a usted para que apoye los programas a ser financiados a través del Rebase, solicitaremos voluntarios para participar en el Comité de Supervisión del Rebase que cumpla el papel de responsabilidad externa para estos fondos. La Junta de Gobierno del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Sunnyside: Daniel Hernandez, Jr., Presidente de la Junta Buck Crouch, Board Secretario Eva Carrillo Dong Eric Giffin Beki Quintero 25

87 DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO NUM. 12 DE SUNNYSIDE ELECCION ESPECIAL 3 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015 Argumentos a favor de la Proposición Núm. 437 Usted tiene voz. Juntas, nuestras voces son lo suficientemente poderosas para cambiar el futuro de nuestra comunidad. Debido a que los electores dijeron si a unos bonos de $88 millones, nuestros estudiantes han tenido acceso a tecnología en las clases, en casa e incluso en nuestros autobuses escolares. Estoy agradecida y orgullosa de ser parte de una comunidad que valora la educación y apoya a las escuelas en dar a nuestros niños las oportunidades que necesitan para realizar su potencial. Este año, el presupuesto del Distrito fue reducido en $2.7 millones, y el rebase más reciente ya no está en efecto. La comunidad votó a favor de unos bonos que fueron aprobados en noviembre del 2011, pero los bonos no pueden ser usados para pagar por los salarios. Si no aprobamos un nuevo rebase en noviembre del 2015, el presupuesto continuará quedándose corto para las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes. Podríamos perder empleados y servicios para los niños y familias incluyendo la preescolar, jardín de niños de todo el día y deportes. Continuaremos luchando para ser competitivos con los salarios para nuestro muy merecedor personal y el tamaño de nuestras clases continuará creciendo. Estos programas han ayudado a nuestros niños y comunidad a ser saludables, involucrase y ser competentes a través de la vida. Diga SÍ al futuro de nuestra comunidad, votando SÍ a nuestro rebase. Eva Carrillo Dong Como presidenta del Consejo de Alfabetización de Sunnyside, miembro de toda la vida de la comunidad de Sunnyside y antigua alumna de Sunnyside, comprendo la importancia del rebase para nuestras escuelas y comunidad. Es nuestra responsabilidad como miembros de esta comunidad el proporcionar a nuestros niños una educación de alta calidad y con los recortes en la financiación que han venido de la legislatura del estado esto ha llegado a ser una tarea imposible sin el rebase. Nuestra clases están abarrotadas, nuestros maestros están trabajando con un salario inferior al nivel medio, como lo está el personal de apoyo y no hemos podido mantener música, arte y bibliotecarios en tiempo completo en las escuelas de primaria. La financiación del rebase permitirá que estas cosas se recuperen. Depende de la comunidad hacer que nuestras escuelas sean de primera categoría. Ada M. Adams 26

88 DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO NUM. 12 DE SUNNYSIDE ELECCION ESPECIAL 3 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015 Argumentos a favor de la Proposición Núm. 437 (continúa) Como miembro de la comunidad de Sunnyside de toda la vida, antiguo alumno de Sunnyside y miembro de la Junta de Gobierno creo de todo corazón en la importancia de las escuelas de alta calidad. La educación es la clave en el éxito personal de nuestros jóvenes y en el bienestar económico de nuestra comunidad. He escuchado sus preocupaciones; tenemos ahora un liderazgo de calidad verdaderamente dedicado a la educación de nuestros hijos. La aprobación del rebase tendrá un gran impacto en la calidad de la educación y servicios que proporcionamos a la comunidad en la que vivimos. Sin él, nuestros estudiantes y familias pueden perder valiosos programas educativos y maestros y personal altamente calificados que cuidad a nuestros niños todos los días. La financiación del rebase nos permite retener a excelentes maestros y personal. Nuestras escuelas perdieron música, arte y bibliotecarios de tiempo completo en las escuelas de primaria debido a las disminuciones en la financiación estatal. Necesitamos reducir el tamaño de nuestras clases a niveles con los que se pueda enseñar. Un rebase tendrá un efecto económico positivo en nuestra comunidad. Las escuelas de alta calidad aumentan el valor de nuestras casas, la seguridad de nuestros vecindarios y la calidad de nuestra vida. Por favor únase a mi a votar a favor de este rebase para que nuestras niños estén preparados para la universidad y las carreras. Buck Crouch La Asociación de Educación de Sunnyside (SEA) endorsa la aprobación del rebase. Los recientes recortes en la financiación de la educación han resultado en la pérdida de más de $12 millones del presupuesto de operaciones de nuestro distrito. Estos recortes han resultado en tamaños de clases más grandes, pérdida de bibliotecarios de tiempo completo en las escuelas de primaria, reducción de programas de arte y música de primaria y secundaria, pérdida de programas de educación de carreras y técnica y en un aumento de las tarifas de los deportes. Estos recortes han comprometido la capacidad de nuestro distrito de contratar y retener maestros y personal de calidad. Estos recortes están dañando y continuarán dañado a nuestros estudiantes. Le instamos a que vote SÍ a la iniciativa de rebase. Un voto sí es un voto a favor de clases más pequeñas y un bibliotecario en cada escuela. Un voto sí nos permitirá reestablecer vigorosos programas de arte y música. Un voto sí es a favor de programas deportivos y de educación de carreras y técnica. Un voto sí es a favor de maestros y personal de calidad. Un voto sí es un voto a favor de los niños del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Sunnyside. Gracias por su consideración y ayuda en este asunto. Mary Martinez, Presidente Asociación de Educación de Sunnyside 27

89 DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO NUM. 12 DE SUNNYSIDE ELECCION ESPECIAL 3 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015 Argumentos a favor de la Proposición Núm. 437 (continúa) He escuchado y buscado las sugerencias de la comunidad relativas al rebase. Algunos de ustedes dicen que debemos trabajar dentro del presupuesto de la misma forma que los propietarios de residencias. Yo digo que si podemos hacer eso, de todas formas, si lo hacemos entonces lo siguiente tendrá que ser recortado del presupuesto con el fin de que hagamos que eso ocurra: El jardín de niños de todo el día (el estado solamente paga por medio día); Consejeros, enfermeros, música, arte y educación física también serán eliminados. Todos estos son considerados extra y no son financiados por el estado. El rebase ayuda a cubrir los salarios de estos puestos y asegurará que nuestros niños reciben la educación que merecen. En el hogar les damos a nuestros hijos las cosas que necesitan para sobrevivir; comida, un hogar, tiempo y amor. En la escuela debemos darles la educación de calidad que merecen. Los maestros merecen un salario con el que puedan vivir y debemos asegurar que pagamos a nuestros maestros de calidad un salario decente de forma que se queden en nuestro distrito. El estudio de compensación que completamos muestra que nuestro personal clasificado también merece aumentos. Nuestra comunidad solamente mejorará si educamos a nuestros niños lo mejor que podamos. Gracias Beki Quintero El Distrito de Sunnyside ha visto muchos cambios desde que yo era un estudiante aquí. Hoy tengo el honor de servir como presidente de la junta y tengo sobrinas y sobrinos que asisten a nuestras escuelas. He visto de primera mano el impacto de 17 millones de dólares en recortes han tenido en nuestra comunidad. Hemos tenido que hacer dolorosos recortes debido a la legislatura del estado. Pero ahora estamos en una encrucijada en la que tenemos la elección de invertir en nuestra propia comunidad ha pesar de lo que la legislatura ha hecho. Este rebase no es simplemente una muy necesitada fuente de ingresos para el distrito es un compromiso a la próxima generación. Un compromiso de que nos ocuparemos de las cosas nosotros mismos y no esperaremos por una legislatura que no se preocupa por nuestra comunidad. Desde proteger el jardín de niños de todo el día, hasta restaurar los programas y puestos recortados. Un nuevo rebase tendrán un positivo impacto económico en nuestra comunidad. As escuelas de alta calidad aumentan el valor de nuestras casas, la seguridad de nuestros vecindarios y la calidad de la vida en nuestra comunidad. Apoyar a las escuelas del Distrito de Sunnyside es una inversión inteligente en nuestro futuro. Daniel Hernandez Jr. Presidente Distrito Escolar Unificado de Sunnyside 28

90 DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO NUM. 12 DE SUNNYSIDE ELECCION ESPECIAL 3 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2015 Argumentos a favor de la Proposición Núm. 437 (continúa) Le insto a que VOTE SÍ en apoyo de las familias y de los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Sunnyside. Este rebase es una inversión en nuestros niños, maestros y los programas que ayudan a nuestros niños a tener éxito. El Distrito ha perdido $17.6 millones desde el 2008 de la pérdida de rebase y de los recortes en vigor a la educación. Cambiemos la tendencia en declive y comencemos a mirar hacia el futuro. El Rebase da al Distrito la capacidad de ampliar programas críticos para ocuparse de las demandas en aumento. Votando SÍ, los estudiantes tendrán el muy necesitado acceso a oportunidades técnicas y de carrera y a clases reducidas. Sunnyside necesita retener y atraer a educadores de alta calidad y con talento. Un voto SÍ da al Distrito las herramientas que necesita para asegurar que tiene maestros comprometidos y con talento. Votar SÍ crea un mejor ambiente de aprendizaje y una comunidad más sólida. Sunnyside ha sido un líder en la tecnología porque ayuda a los estudiantes a prepararse para tener éxito. Este Rebase da a Sunnyside la oportunidad de continuar invirtiendo en el futuro de la comunidad. Con estos fondos viene la responsabilidad de dar cuentas a los electores, El Distrito ha prometido instalar importantes procesos de supervisión para asegurar la responsabilidad y la participación de la comunidad. VOTE SÍ- a favor de la prosperidad de la comunidad. Lisa Lovallo Cox Communications Mi nombre es Roxana Rico. Estoy dirigiendo los esfuerzos para aprobar este rebase este año como presidenta del comité porque creo en nuestra comunidad. Actualmente resido en nuestra comunidad, soy antigua alumna de Sunnyside, tengo hijos en nuestro distrito y he sido una educadora en el distrito por muchos años. Nuestra comunidad de Sunnyside es un lugar especial. Es por lo que he elegido quedar en Sunnyside y trabajar para mejorar las vidas de nuestros estudiantes. Nuestra comunidad, estudiantes y personal merecen todas las oportunidades para tener éxito. Nuestro mejor recurso es nuestro personal. A pesar de los retos a los que nos hemos enfrentado, hemos tenido individuos muy trabajadores y dedicados que trabajaban un día y otro para asegurar que a nuestros estudiantes se les proporciona la instrucción de calidad que merecen y necesitan. Ahora, les pido que nos ayuden a cuidar a aquellos que cuidan a nuestros estudiantes. En una época en la que nos enfrentamos a nuevos retos, necesitamos reclutar y mantener al mejor personal posible. Este rebase permitirá salarios competitivos que asegurarán nuestra capacidad de reclutar y retener al mejor personal.

VOTE NO : Este año, el SUSD12 asevera que los Fondos Estatales han sido recortados y que están forzando al SUSD12 a dirigirse a la comunidad local con el fin de continuar el apoyo financiero, lo cual incluye mantener programas de calidad, reclutar y mantener a los mejores / más brillantes maestros y personal junto con proporcionar salarios equitativos. Sin embargo, el SUSD12 está proporcionando información del 2010 para justificar el pedir una TASA DE IMPUESTOS MÁS ALTA de los propietarios residenciales y de negocios para compensar la CONTINUA MALA ADMINISTRACIÓN y FALTA DE RESPOSABILIDAD FISCAL (capacidad de usar el dinero de los contribuyentes inteligentemente). Alex Richards DETENGA: AUMENTOS DE IMPUESTOS INSOPORTABLES Y USO INDEBIDO DE LOS IMPUESTOS SOBRE LA PROPIEDAD!! VOTE NO A IMPUESTOS SOBRE LA PROPIEDAD MÁS ELEVADOS!!! Este año, una vez más el SUSD asevera que los recortes estatales están forzando al SUSD12 a dirigirse a la comunidad local y a los propietarios del distrito con el fin de continuar el apoyo financiero, lo cual incluye mantener programas de calidad, reclutar y mantener a los mejores / más brillantes maestros y personal junto con proporcionar salarios equitativos. Sin embargo, el SUSD12 está proporcionando información del año escolar 2010 para justificar una cantidad más alta de ingresos no recibidos, y así pedir a los propietarios de negocios y residentes en propiedades que profundicen más en sus bolsillos financieros para dar al SUSD12 dinero de impuestos adicional para financiar el mantenimiento y operaciones. Todos y cada uno de los años el SUSD ha desperdiciado y malgastado dinero para emplear administradores, coordinadores y especialistas adicionales a salarios más altos ignorando así a los maestros de las clases, empleados que afectan directamente a los niños desde el jardín de niños hasta el grado 12! El mal uso de los bonos aprobados por los electores es un principal ejemplo de cómo el SUSD12 con un Comité de Supervisión continuó el mal uso que ahora se solicita una DUPLICACIÓN DE NECESIDADES por los miembros de la Junta del SUSD y apoyado por los líderes y Miembros del Gabinete y Supt. de SUSD. El liderazgo del SUSD NO PUEDE SER CONFIADO PARA UTILIZAR los impuestos de los propietarios de negocios y residenciales. Al Arellano, antiguo miembro de la Junta Escolar del SUSD 30

NO al continuo descuido de los maestros, niños y sus necesidades! 4. Si los impuestos van para ARRIBA, las RENTAS van para ARRIBA! 5. El SUSD demuestra que NO TIENE RESPONSABILIDAD FISCAL. REPETIDAMENTE, muy mala administración de los fondos del distrito= NINGUNA garantía de que los maestros/personal recibirán aumentos de salarios! 6. Los administradores del SUSD han continuado recibiendo aumentos de salario, sin tener en cuenta la crisis presupuestaria! 7. El SUSD continuó RETENIENDO a los líderes y gabinete administrativos del antiguo superintendente! 8. El SUSD continúa usando mal los fondos de los bonos aprobados por los electores en cosas pedidas en este rebase. Esto es una DUPLICACIÓN de gastos solicitados. 9.

103 GCQEA RETIREMENT OF PROFESSIONAL / SUPPORT STAFF MEMBERS (Staff Post-Retirement Employment Option) Program Goal In an effort to retain highly qualified and experienced employees and at the same time reduce employer cost, the District has initiated a staff post-retirement employment option (PREO) for those teachers, administrators, and support staff employees who meet the requirements for Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) normal retirement. The provisions of the staff PREO allow the employee to retire, retain the ASRS retirement stipend, and return to the District at a lower salary under a contract with a District selected contractor without placing their ASRS retirement stipend in jeopardy. PREO is an option offered to staff in the event of retirement. It is not offered as an incentive to retire. More specifically, neither PREO nor any of its constituent components are intended nor should they be construed to be a "retirement incentive program" as defined in A.R.S Program Criteria for First-Year Participants Current employees desiring to exercise their PREO, must pre-qualify by meeting the following criteria: The employee must qualify for ASRS normal retirement and retire during the current school year. At no time will the employee be asked for a promise to retire on a date certain or to make any commitment whatsoever regarding the anticipated date of the employee's retirement. The employee must have the recommendation of the employee's principal or immediate supervisor and the approval of the Superintendent and Governing Board. Basis of Employee Contract for First-Year of Post-Retirement Employment The employee agrees to the following contract terms: Continue in the same position and assume the same responsibilities as the job category requires. Services to be provided to the District will be delivered under a contract held by a contractor selected by the District.

104 Provisions of the contract provides for a salary equal to eighty percent (80%) of the employee's most recent full year's ending salary. The salary determination will then be reduced by the amount the District is required to pay to ASRS as an Alternate Contribution Rate (ACR), as determined by ASRS. Provisions of the contract provides for the District or the employee to terminate the contract with a thirty (30) day written notice. The District will not pay the cost of insurance coverage. Employees are eligible to purchase insurance coverage under COBRA for a period of eighteen (18) months. Any sellable accumulated sick leave must be sold back to the District at time of retirement. Employees electing to participate in this plan also acknowledge that participation in the District's thirty (30) day Early Retirement Program is forfeited. The employee will be ineligible to take part in any District paid supplemental programs such as Career Ladder, 301, et cetera. The employee may perform specific additional duties such as coaching, sponsoring, et cetera, if the employee applies for such position and is selected by the District, and if such appointment is not in conflict with the ASRS guidelines. Under such circumstances, the District will issue appropriate addenda for services to be rendered. Contract will be for the same number of days as other District employees working in the same category or classification. An allotment of paid leave days equal to one (1) day per month of contract will be granted under this contract, but for days taken over the allotment, a deduction of per diem pay will be made for each day based on the total days of contract. If paid vacation was a part of the retiree's previous position, the same number of paid vacation days provided to a first year employee of that group will become an allotment under this contract. However, vacation days not taken will not be paid - "Use or Lose." Basis of Employee Contract/Wage Agreement for Employment After the First Year A retiree desiring to return to District employment after completing the first year under the District's Staff PREO agrees to the following:

105 The retiree must have the recommendation of the principal or immediate supervisor and the approval of the Superintendent and Governing Board. Any recommendation for rehire will be made to the Governing Board. The retiree will return to the same job category and classification. (If the retiree desires to return to a different position in the same job category and classification, the retiree will be required to apply to District postings and interview for the position in the same manner as other applicants.) For the second year and any subsequent year, the District will issue the employment contract/wage agreement. The contract/wage agreement will be a temporary contract for the year. All benefits extended to other employees in the same category and classification will be a part of the contract/wage agreement (accrual of leave, vacation if applicable, insurance, et cetera), except for (a) no accrual of leave for "sell back" will be allowed, and (b) no participation in thirty (30) day Early Retirement Program. Leave days remaining from the first year of contracted employment will be carried forward to the District contract and unused leave days will continue to be carried forward for subsequent years. Salary for returning retirees will be determined for each job category and classification as follows: Certificated retirees returning in the classification of teacher, librarian, counselor, psychologist, nurse, prevention specialist, program facilitator, or any other position for which the salary and fringe benefits are agreed upon with the Sunnyside Education Association (SEA) shall have their initial salary determined as follows: As the first step, the employee will be placed on the appropriate scale and salary for the position commensurate with the employee's teaching experience through step 10 plus 1 as determined by the Salary Placement Guide in effect for the next school year (the initial "Base Salary"). That initial Base Salary determination will then be reduced by the amount the District is required to pay to ASRS as an Alternate Contribution Rate (ACR), as determined by ASRS. For each subsequent year on a District-issued contract, the salary shall be determined by taking the prior year's base salary, along with any increase given to other employees in the same classification as the retiree, reduced by the ACR. The ACR may change from time to time but will at all times be the rate that has been determined by ASRS for the applicable contract year. In no event shall the resultant salary amount (other adjustments for ACR) be less than Step 1 of the teacher placement guides.

106 Certificated/support staff retirees returning in the classification of administration will be placed on the appropriate scale and salary for position commensurate with the employee's prior experience in the position before retirement through step 10 as determined by the Salary Placement Guide in effect for the next school year. However, in no event shall the returning retiree's initial salary exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the most recent full year's contract worked by the employee prior to retirement. This initial base salary determination will then be reduced by the applicable ACR. For each subsequent year on a District-issued contract, the salary shall reflect the prior year's base salary plus the approved salary increase for the employee classification, minus the applicable ACR. In no event shall the resultant salary amount be less than Step 1 of the administrative placement guide. Support staff retirees returning in the classification of support staff employee will be placed on the appropriate grade and salary for position commensurate with the employee's prior experience in the position before retirement through step 10 as determined by the Salary Placement Guide in effect for the next school year. However, in no event shall the returning retiree's initial salary exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the most recent full year's contract worked by the employee prior to retirement. This initial base salary determination will then be reduced by the applicable ACR. For each subsequent year on a District-issued contract, the salary shall reflect the prior year's base salary plus the approved salary increase for the employee classification, minus the applicable ACR. In no event shall the resultant salary amount be less than Step 1 of the classified salary schedule. Adopted: date of Manual adoption Updated August 24, 2015

Note that text in black is language that remains the same, text in red with strike-through reflects deleted language, and text in blue shows language that has been added. 1. IKF: Graduation Requirements--Policy Advisory 527: Senate Bill 1101 provides for a temporary moratorium on the requirement of obtaining passing score on a standardized test in order to graduate from high school. This has been enacted as an emergency measure and is effective for the , , and school years. Changes to the policy advisory language have been made with regard to language related to AIMS or a "successor" test--to avoid confusion, this language has been edited out of the attached policy, even though it was left in the Policy Advisory. Added language, as in the Policy Advisory, includes the requirement for students to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test ( ); this test has not been included in the moratorium. 2. IKF-RB: Because of the changes in state assessments, the Regulation to IKF: Alternative Graduation Requirement is no longer current. The proposal will be to delete this regulation. 3. IKF-EA: The recommendation is to delete Exhibit to IKF, the Alternative Graduation Requirement Appeal Form. 4. IKF-EB: The recommendation is to delete the Exhibit to IKF, Augmentation Points Calculations, because this form is no longer current.
