We held a brief bargaining session this afternoon. CUTA presented their package proposal (#8) that included a request for additional "3D" days, change in the language regarding elementary prep time, teacher transfer language, and 5 student contact furlough days.
In addition, areas of conceptual agreement remained in the proposal: combined BA/MA placement on the salary schedule, CUTA pays 100% of the presidential release time, and resinding layoff notices other than those needed based on board-approved reductions.
CUTA also proposed reopening negotiations in November 2012 after Thanksgiving break.
The next bargaining session is scheduled for Friday, June 1st.
