RSD Offers 1% Raise to REA Members

5/21/2021

 

On Tuesday, 5/18/21, the district made a ludicrous offer of 1% per year over three years to REA members.  Thus continues rsd's disrespect to the work of its certified educational staff.  The district says it wants to attract and retain quality teachers who represent the diversity of our student population.  By offering salaries that are the lowest in the metro 14 this will not happen.  For the past 20 years the district has compensated REA members at rates below inflation.  THIS MUST STOP HERE AND NOW!

The two sides were able to reach a tentative agreement on Article #9, Teaching Hours.  Gains were made as follows:  a) the district will begin looking at and adjusting start times with REA members serving within the work group before the end of the 2021-22 school year,  and b) passing time for specialists and counselors was codified for members who serve at the elementary level.

The next session is scheduled for Thursday, June 3rd, from 5:00-8:00.  REA will bring counters on articles 5, 22, 23, 26, and 30.  The district will bring a counter on 9 and also answers to multiple questions asked by REA.  

Please join us on June 3rd as time is waining to reach a settlement before the contract expires on June 30th.  WE NEED YOuR SUPPORT!!!!

RSD & REA Take Small Steps in Negotiations

5/6/2021

 

This past Tuesday RSD and REA reached tentative agreement on Article #18, Student Discipline.  REA was able to get improved language regarding behavior plans, safety protocols, and timely sharing of information with "need to know members" regarding students with emotional regulation issues.  RSD was unwilling to add language regarding restorative justice practices, despite having spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars creating an RJ program and processes. :(

REA and RSD were unable to come together on a restoration of the mentor program for new educators, A #28.  The district is "unprepared" to take this on for the 2021/22 school year.  The sides agreed to go back to current contract language for Article 28. :(

Some progress was made on Article 26, Student Services.  The district agreed in principal to break 26 into sections, A, B, and C to separate SPED, ELL, and Emotional Supports and establish committees in each area.  More to come on this. :)

At the next session (May 18th from 5:00 until?), RSD will bring language on Articles, 7, 9, 26, and initial language on 22 Compensation & 23 Fringe Benefits.
