A Message From Your Bargaining Team (June 24, 2009)

The TEA bargaining team is making positive progress with the District’s new team make-up.  As you are aware, this year’s negotiations are especially difficult with the projected budget deficit of $44 M for next year.   About $8 M of the projected deficit stems from loss in student enrollment; the other $36 M is based on announced potential budget cuts from the Arizona State Legislature and the Governor.  We’re also at an added disadvantage over other local districts because we don’t have override funding. 

In an effort to protect K-12 funding (so as to minimize laid off and district-transferred employees), please contact the Governor at 1-800-253-0883 or email her using the form at the bottom of http://azgovernor.gov/Contact.asp.

Please contact your legislators as well.  If you’re not sure how to do so, go to http://capwiz.com/nea/az/state/main/?state=AZ and enter your zip code (all nine digits) at the top of the form.
