MEDIATION FAILS BETWEEN CUSD and TEACHERS​

CUSDWatch: MEDIATION FAILES BETWEEN CUSD and TEACHERS

Are Teachers really going to strike? By their own admission, Average compensation has gone from $95,000 in 2012-13 to $109,519 in 2016-17. And... these salaries are for 185 days of work. How many people in the private sector work 185 days a year?

How many Private Sector employees have seen that kind of compensation increase in 5 years?

CUSD Teachers want to be paid like Laguna Beach teachers.

Note: Laguna Beach gets $17,000 per student ($16,941).

CUSD gets $9,309 per student. CUSD cannot compete with Laguna Beach for salary increases. Source: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/fd/ec/currentexpense.asp

CUEA needs to advocate for more funding from the State, not steal from students. If CUSD gives employees more- it means students get less. Increased class sizes- cuts to programs - deferred maintenance - less instructional time etc etc

CUSD parents are already fundraising for Art - Music - Science and now PE.

Here are the MAXIMUM CLASS SIZES:

CLASS SIZES ARE TO HIGH TO BE EFFECTIVE FOR STUDENT LEARNING!

Employee Compensation will be over 100% of CUSD's budget if CUSD has to pay full increased contributions to CalSTRS and CalPERS which will represent over 10% of CUSD's total budget.

NO EARLY RETIREMENT- Nothing has improved for students and now experienced teachers will be replaced with beginning teachers who will not have the skills to cope with the class sizes- lack of programs- poor facilities etc etc

No Payment for SUMMER professional Development until class sizes are reduced- staff to student ratios are safe and CUSD facilities have been fixed and properly maintained.

CUEA wants a Retroactive 2% salary Increase

CUEA wants oldest teachers to receive the 2% + a 7% Longevity salary increase

CUSD- No Salary Increase in 2017 - 18

CUSD No Longevity Increase

CUSD Employees pay a higher percentage of health and welfare benefits.

CUEA wants CUSD to spend RESERVES on salaries!

CUEA - Enrollment is declining because more families are opting out of CUSD because the academic performance of students across all demographics is declining. CUSD is no longer providing a minimum education to its students.

CUSD is spending money on "other things" they are in the "Property Development" business and the "Professional Development Business" - not the "Education Business". The waste fraud and abuse of taxpayer money within CUSD is unconscionable. CUSD gifted $13 million to the Ranch. CUSD spent $700,000 in Pacifica San Juan Mello Roos taxpayer money to change the zoning on land it does not even own! The list goes on! CUEA should go after the wasting of Public Assets - not the District's reserves.

CUSD balances it's budget every year by CUTTING books and supplies. It is a slush fund and never makes it to the class room. CUSD cut $9 million this year to balance its budget.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT spending is out of Control

CUSD's FIRST Obligation is to provide STUDENTS with a DISTRICT FUNDED minimum education

Tell CUEA to ask the state for more funding if they want increased compensation - do not take it from CUSD students

The State funding formula intentionally underfunds wealthy suburban school districts- fix the formula!

CALIFORNIA's LCFF is unconstitutional!

No

CUSD - Salary Increase in 2017 - 18

CUSD No Longevity Increase

CUSD Employees pay a higher percentage of health and welfare benefits.
