All Hands-on Deck and Elimination of Non-Essential Workload

Member leaders have asked the District to put in place a plan that ensures that all available staff, including administration, are deployed to cover classes and to minimize the warehousing of students in large groups or provide adequate supervision when there is no other option but to warehouse students.

Additionally, SDEA member leaders met with District leadership about educator workload and District initiatives that could be suspended this year, including:

• Non-essential assessments and professional development being eliminated for the remainder of this school year.
• All site pilot projects that were not approved by the SGT must either be stopped or reviewed for approval by the SGT.
• Any scheduled PLCs that are not teacher directed should cease.
