May 1, 2015:
The Pasco School District has received numerous questions about the staffing process for the school openings and transitions for 2015-2016. The District and PAE have a signed Letter of Agreement from June 2014 intended to address a smooth implementation of staffing for 2015-16 (see link below). In response to PAE’s demand to bargain these issues further, the District and PAE teams have been meeting. After not reaching an agreement on April 29, 2015, PAE has filed for mediation with the Public Employment Relations Commission.The district proposed to address the Association’s concerns in the following ways:· Two additional Tier 1 days for 6th grade teachers for planning and work related to the transition;
· Meetings with PAE to identify and discuss any workload impacts for 6th grade teachers;
· Language stating 6th grade teachers will teach designated subject matter provided the necessary number of teachers are willing and the programs and schedules allow;
· Transferring curricular materials to the elementary schools for 6th grade teachers and providing additional curricular materials as needed;
·
Allowing other overstaffed teachers to select from the same available grade-level positions; · Other terms of the original Letter of Agreement.
