Aloha,
Orcutt Educator's Association and the Orcutt Union School District have been unable to reach agreement on contract articles governing compensation, working days and hours, term, grievance, and class size. As a result, we have declared impasse and expect to meet with the district and a moderator early next month. A key disagreement continues concerning the raise to the salary schedule; the district has not increased its offer of 3% since November, 2015.
The association and the district were able to reach a tentative agreement on new stipends (Article X, Appendix B3) for elementary and junior high robotics advisers ($800 annually), and an MOU for stipends for PLC leads (up to 8) at all sites ($1200 annually). Additionally, we agreed to an MOU that will add one PD day to the beginning of the year compensated at a member's per diem rate for the 2016-17 school year only. The PD day agenda will be set with input from the association.
As always feel free to contact me with questions, comments, and/or concerns.
Mahalo,
Monique L. Segura
President, Orcutt Educators Association
