SDEA members and staff met with the District on October 15 to bargain over this year’s increase in mandatory trainings. Our proposal recognizes the increased workload on our members and sets aside three additional minimum/modified days for members to complete the 6 hours of trainings.
The District’s bargaining team argued that the increase for this year is only 48 minutes because of new cybersecurity trainings. They argued that the remaining notifications and trainings have been required in previous years. As such, they provided a counterproposal that only extends the deadline for all trainings except the legally required mandated reporter training. Their proposal provides no additional time within the 6:35-day to complete all tasks.
Our next bargaining session on this topic is scheduled for October 30.
