Know Your Rights: Preparing for Next School Year!
One of the improvements in our recently ratified contract is a more streamlined process for requesting repairs. SDEA members won the right to timely repairs years ago, through a repair timeline triggered by submitting a form to the central Physical Plant Operations (PPO). Recently, SDEA members strengthened their contractual rights to ensure that the most urgent repairs can be addressed at the site level whenever possible, and escalated if needed.
Learn more about how to enforce your rights to timely repairs… including how to request maintenance, and how to follow up! Especially at the beginning of the school year, one common maintenance issue that often comes up is air conditioning – know your rights before the heat wave by reviewing our updated flyer about heat protections, both in your contract and in state law.
