Teachers call for restored collaboration during sunshine‑proposal public hearing
Summary
During a public hearing on sunshine proposals from the Bass Lake teachers and CSEA, Laura Joyce told the board that communication between staff and the board is "broken" and asked for a joint committee of teachers and administrators to resolve operational and budget issues.
The board opened a public hearing on the 2026–27 sunshine proposals from the Bass Lake Teachers Association and CSEA chapter 757. Laura Joyce spoke during the hearing and urged renewed collaboration between teachers and administration.
Joyce said the district’s teachers "pride themselves in representing the school, the children, and the community" and described long service and dedication; she told trustees "it is my opinion that at this time, our communication is broken in this district" and asked for a committee of teachers and administrators to work together on operational and budget issues. The board acknowledged the request and returned to the regular agenda to continue other business.
The hearing provided an opportunity for staff and the union to place proposals on the record; the board did not take labor action during the meeting but invited further engagement.
