- Welcome
- Review of Agenda
- Norms
- Dr. Mucetti
- Introduced herself and thanked us for the work that we as teachers do. Formula has produced a positive. We will be receiving a 3.11% raise.
- Her last year as a teacher she taught for Hayward Unified and they were on strike for 10 days and she didn’t once cross the picket line. She was out there striking with all teachers.
- We need our enrollment to increase.
- Gayle and Dr. Mucetti have a standing bi-weekly meeting.
- Total Compensation Increase
- We can do a 3.11% all toward salary or we could do a 2.5% to salary and the rest to in-lieu (medical)
- Mike Wilmarth gave a presentation explaining why we want to put the entire percentage toward salary.
- If raise goes partly to healthcare premiums it won’t figure itself into the compound
- The cap is not a set percentage towards our salaries. Our formula is a total compensation formula (STRS, Salary, and Cap towards insurance)
- An email will be sent from Gayle that will explain the difference between the 3.11% to salary schedule or 2.5% to salary with $75 going to healthcare cap
- Historically our district has put all percentages toward the salary schedule
- Mike will give Gayle the PDF that he created explaining the difference between all to salary schedule vs. some to salary and some to in-lieu so everyone can understand and make an educated decision
- Site reps need to talk to their members regarding the choices so they can make educated decisions
- We are looking into other healthcare options other than CalPers since they are so expensive.
- Raise is retroactive back to Aug 1, 2018 we need to let them know by 10/1/18 so the raise will be reflected in our October pay
- In lieu does not go to salary and doesn’t change what you would get when you retire
- Standard Campaign
- Update we are at 30 new members. We need 50 to enroll in order for everyone with a pre-existing condition can get coverage
