What We Need

 1. Salary schedule similar to K-12 salary schedule

• Life-changing – increase in income by 25% or more
• Complete with steps of K-12 and salary range
• Full-time is 30 hours + five hours of prep time
• Get on salary and off hourly
  • More money during career
  • More money in retirement

2. Same matrix as K-12

• Our matrix now is inferior to that of K-12
  • K-12 has three methods to choose from, voted on by faculty
  • UTLA recommended method is not available to adult teachers
  • Choose a schedule by seniority
    • Our matrix still gives control to the administration.

3. Out of classroom assignments are no more than 50% of hours

• Distribute out-of-classroom hours to classroom teachers
  • Relieves teacher burnout
    • Especially ESL teachers
    • Three ESL classes a day, with one evening, is much work
• Out-of-classroom positions instead of evening work

4. Premium for evening classes

• Evening classes are a burden for:
  • Those who have split shifts
  • Those who have families
  • Those who are older
• 20% over regular pay or $70 an hour, whichever is greater
• Shortage of evening teacher application.
  • Premium will make it more attractive

 
5. Recoup items lost in past negotiations
