At the April 13, 2016 BOT Meeting page 274: Recommendation of Tentative Agreement with Capistrano Unified Education Association (CUEA) for July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2017 Discussion/Action
On April 13, 2016 the CUSD Trustees approved a two year contract that provided Teachers with a:
- 4% Salary Schedule Increase
- 4% One-time off Schedule Bonus
- Health and Welfare Benefit Increases
The cost of this agreement was $18.6 million ($10 million in on-going expenses and $8.6 million in one time bonus money) for both the 2015-16 and 2016-17.
CUEA is proposing to get the same contract for 2017-18 plus there are some egregious MOU's that have never been disclosed to the Public. (MOUs are listed below).
8% compensation increase + health and welfare benefit increase for 3 years (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18) if CUEA gets what it is asking for.
MOU's
1) Pilot MOU Kinoshita TK & K hours of employment. Period 2015-16 and 2016-17 executed 2-18-16 + Side Letter Pilot Program 2016-17 executed 7-25-17.
This was the only MOU that was made Public at a Board meeting and was open for Information/Discussion. CUSD was in violation of EdCode because it failed to have the same length of day for Kinoshita Elementary schools TK and K programs as required by law. This resolution was for a waiver.
2) ACE Day/Open House Adjustment for 2016-17 executed 7-25-16
3) ACE Day/Back to School Night Adjustment for 2016-17 and 2018-19 executed 7-25-16
If the Calendar is set so that Open House and Back to School do not fall on ACE days- Teachers actually gain 2 more early days out which cuts instructional minutes for students.
4) Priority enrollment of employees over all others including Mello Roos School of Choice 2016-17 and 2017-18 executed 7-25-16
This MOU would give District Employees priority over students for admission into impacted schools.

This MOU removed teachers from being Middle School Campus Supervisors.
6) Pilot 50 students in a PE Class 2016-17 executed 7-25-16 re-negotiate 2017-18
