EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION REPRESENTS ALMOST 90% of CUSD's BUDGET

HOW DOES CUSD ADOPT A BUDGET IF IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT 90% OF ITS PROJECTED EXPENSES ARE?

AN IMPASSE SHOULD BE FILED- BARGAINING UNITS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BENEFIT FROM AN "ON-GOING CONTRACT" WHICH GAVE THEM SUBSTANTIAL COMPENSATION INCREASES THE PAST THREE YEARS.

DRASTICALLY DECLINING REVENUES:



INCREASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION:
Certificated Salaries up .5%
Classified Salaries up 3.9%


Employee Benefits HUMMMMM? What "other benefits" were cut by 93%?


See CUEA's Latest Bargaining Up-date: http://disclosurecusd.blogspot...

Text Books and Core Curricula Materials CUT 5.5%
Books and other Reference Materials CUT 79%


New Accounts:
California State Special Schools Account #7130
Transfers of Indirected Costs Account #7310

IS CUSD DEFICIT SPENDING?

The State of California is passing the cost of increased STRS and PERS on to school Districts. By 2021 10% of CUSD's total budget will be STRS and PERS contributions. That will make employee compensation over 100% of CUSD's budget.... as such CUSD is discussing ANOTHER early retirement so that there will be at least some money to open the doors and pretend to fund an education for students. An education that does not include district funded Art, Music or Science that meets minimum State Content Standards and Curriculum Frameworks and is taught by a properly credentialed teacher. Class sizes will never be reduced. CUSD will continue to have staff to student ratios that are not safe and facilities will continue to decline-

BUT EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION WILL CONTINUE TO GROW EVERY YEAR EVEN IF THAT TAKES THE FORM OF PAID DAYS OFF FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING.
IS CUSD REALLY IN THE EDUCATION BUSINESS?
