Board hears proposal to grant CTA president release days; trustees raise classroom-impact questions
Summary
A proposed memorandum of understanding would grant the local California Teachers Association president release days funded by CTA; trustees asked how release days will avoid disrupting classroom instruction and were told parameters and coordination with principals are being developed.
District Human Resources Director Robert French presented an MOU that would allow the local CTA chapter president to take release days, funded by the CTA, to conduct association business. Trustees voiced concerns about potential classroom disruption; Board President Seth Waltner asked how the district will "make sure this won't distract teachers during class time." Robert French responded that the district is developing parameters with principals and said release days would be scheduled before or after teachers' duty day when possible.
The item was presented for information and discussion; the board did not take formal action at the meeting. Trustees asked whether the district could provide continuity for students using the same substitute teacher; Robert French said staff are working with principals to address continuity issues.
