Earlier this school year, SDEA staff filed a unionwide SPED caseload overage grievance. The goal of this grievance is to remedy the overages from the 11th day of school to the point in which an Ed. Specialist’s caseload is at or below their caseload capacity. At this time, there is no need to file separate grievances at school sites on caseload overages.
SDEA staff have continued to meet with the District, not only to reach a 2023-24 grievance settlement, but also to analyze the efficacy of Section 3 in last year’s caseload grievance settlement. This section was added to last year’s settlement as a preventative measure, in hopes of avoiding the accompanying workload increases due to caseload overages in the 2023-2024 school year.
While we continue this process, if you are experiencing overages, please document your caseload by saving weekly, timestamped PowerSchool reports and tracking any sort of support you receive from the Compliance Team.
