Negotiations Update- 11/30/21
The District and our SGTA team met today from 9:00 until 3:15 working on many aspects of negotiations.
We discussed information on the late start time for the high school that has been mandated by the State. Any subsequent changes to start times across the District are being researched and will be presented at the January 18th Board Meeting.
We agreed to extend the current COVID Leave MOU until June 30th.
We discussed SLP recruitment issues and the District will be doing a salary study regarding the SLP’s.
We discussed current budget updates and will revisit after the Governor’s budget is released in January.
We discussed VISP SPED students and IEP requirements. There are currently 195 elementary students, 52 middle school students and 45 high school students in the program. Thirty-two of the total students are SPED designated.
School Services is currently doing an Organizational Study for district which is an overall staffing overview and completing comparisons with 6 other districts that are similar in size, unduplicated counts etc. Updates will be given when the study is finished.
We had a long discussion about stipends and created a list of information that is needed in order for us to continue our work. We agreed to work on this area via email, small group meetings etc.
We went through the contract page by page and identified inconsistencies, typos and areas of need.
No salary discussions will be made until our February 10th meeting.
Happy Holidays,
Your Negotiations Team

Hi SGTA GHS members,
Take a minute to double check that you have turned in a physician designation form to Cathy Miller at the DEC. I have attached the form you need to this email. Fill it out and email it to Cathy Miller. None of our members have reported feeling great about the workers comp doctors they send us to if you don't have that form on file. Just in case the email below ends up in your spam folder, I thought I'd forward it to you again. If you aren't receiving emails like the one below, let me know so we can check on what is happening before the vote for the MOU. Best, Kat |
