Union proposes limits on evening/weekend duties and anonymous supermajority voting for workday changes
Summary
Proposal would cap a single evening or weekend duty at two hours, prevent splitting one duty over multiple days, require administrators to notify staff before preplanning of required evening/weekend duties, and require a supermajority anonymous vote (two-thirds) by impacted staff for workday start/end changes.
The union presented changes intended to limit how evening and weekend duties are assigned and to give staff a stronger voice on site-level workday changes.
The proposal caps a single evening or weekend duty at two hours and forbids splitting a single duty across multiple days to count as one duty. It requires required evening/weekend duties to be communicated before the end of preplanning and would make athletic ticket-taking optional rather than required. The proposal also requires a supermajority (discussed as 66.7%) anonymous vote over three contracted workdays of impacted instructional staff for changes to workday start and end times.
Union negotiators argued the changes reduce pressure on small worksites and protect staff with childcare responsibilities; district representatives asked for legal and operational clarity about ballot administration and timing. The parties agreed to refine the voting language and to bring back a clear definition of "supermajority" in writing.
