Tis the season for meetings... Yesterday after school there was a faculty meeting and really nothing significant happened. After that we, union officers met with the superintendent. There we received more bad news. The continuation school at El Molino High School will be disbanded. The class size for the special education department at El Molino will rise considerably. There will be a cut back on counselors at all campuses with a fifty percent reduction at Laguna School. Possibly as many as eight full time teacher positions eliminated. But a rare piece of good news also, two of our excellent teachers Gianna and Jeff will finally after 3 years be moved on to probationary status.
Today, we have a general membership meeting to tell the bad news to our membership. We need to get their feedback to decide how we want to proceed in negotiations. Then tonight at 6 PM is the school board meeting. Here they will finalize the layoffs that the administration has already decided on. Perhaps I will let Greg, the other President finally introduce himself to the school board tonight. It will be a meeting that I do not mind missing.
