Summer Prep for Big Year Ahead All Roads Lead Through Our Contract Campaign for the Schools LA Students Deserve Award-Winning Newspaper of United Teachers Los Angeles • www.utla.net Volume XLVI, Number 11, July 21, 2017 Summer prep for big year ahead All roads lead through our contract campaign for the Schools LA Students Deserve. UTLA is gearing up for major collective action in the new school year, when everything will be on the line for our schools and our profession. This Inside stories year, the path forward for public education runs right through our contract campaign for the Schools LA Students Deserve. • By fighting for a fair pay raise and protection of active and retiree health benefits, we support educator retention and recruitment and help address the looming teacher shortage. • By advocating for lower class sizes and bringing more staff and support for our students, we hit back at the billionaire privatizers who would dis- mantle public education by starving schools and recklessly expanding unregulated charters. • By organizing collective action, we increase school-site power to rep- resent members, enforce the contract, and address school-site concerns that impact educators daily. • By escalating our actions, we create leverage at the local, state, and na- Charter tional level for increased school funding, accountability for charter operators, accountability and support for the Community Schools model. legislation Our current collective bargaining agreement expired in June, and UTLA Page 7 is at the table with a comprehensive package of proposals for the Schools LA Students Deserve that hits on a wide span of critical issues, including competi- tive pay, class size, staffing, testing, school climate and student discipline, and enhanced professional rights. UTLA’s salary demand is for a 7% permanent salary increase, retroactive to July 2016. On June 20, LAUSD responded with an unacceptable 2% one-time salary payment. Escalating actions build the power to win As we did together in 2014-15, when UTLA members won a great pay raise and improvements for our schools, we will be engaging in escalat- ing collective actions in support of our contract proposals. The goal is to settle a contract that meets our demands without a strike, but we must be prepared for one. Our actions will be powered by an aggressive organiz- UTLA ing plan being finalized at the UTLA Leadership Conference and in other contract sessions before school begins in August. bargaining California must do better with school funding Page 6 Our strategic plan will fold in all the elements critical to success, includ- ing continuing our coalition-building with parents, community groups, and labor allies and launching a major media campaign. That media effort will drive a wider public focus on the dismal level of per-pupil funding in California, which is currently 46th in the nation. With such shamefully low funding, there is only so much we can do to achieve the resources, staffing, and support that our students deserve. Educators know only too well that per-pupil funding in the state is among the lowest in the nation, but most Californians have no idea that school funding is so meager. According to a 2012 survey by the Public Policy Institute of California, only 36% of Cali- fornians think that the state’s per-pupil spending for K-12 public education is below average compared to other states. Our media campaign will move the message about the need to raise revenue and commit a greater slice of our state’s sizable economic resources to our neighborhood public schools.

The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.
