Hundreds of Teachers Packed the Board Meeting Wearing Orange Stickers

Under the States Local Control Funding Formula - by the year 2021 CUSD is projected to receive $8,500 per student. CUSD currently receives $7,763 per student making CUSD on of the most underfunded districts in the State and in the Nation.

The State Average Per Pupil Funding is $9,400.

The National Average Per Pupil Funding is $11.500.

If the District does not have sufficient funds to staff and fund the State’s mandated minimum core curriculum, then how is the District suppose to fund increased compensation for employees?

The District has an obligation to ask for more funding from the State. CUEA should join that cause. CUEA should not ask CUSD to cut more programs and increase class sizes to pay for raises.

A Citizen Addressed the Board at Last Nights meeting

The Board Listened

But

They have no Money to fix the problem

But we did learn something new!

Under Local Control the State of California got rid of content standards.Physical education is the only subject that has a required number of instructional minutes ...

The schedule of the instructional day and week is determined by the teacher...

Now I understand why my child was not taught the last three chapters of the Algebra I curriculum...

Because the Teacher is no longer required to teach to a certain standard.

But-

By all means - lets use what money we do have to give employees another raise.

SETTLE NOW!

It’s for the kids!
