Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school
district to terminate the services of any certificated employees of
the district during the time period between 5 days after the
enactment of the Budget Act and August 15 of the fiscal year to
which that Budget Act applies if the governing board of a school
district determines that its total revenue limit per unit of average
daily attendance for the fiscal year of that Budget Act has not
increased by at least 2% and if in the opinion of the governing
board it is therefore necessary to decrease the number of permanent
employees in the district.
This bill would make this provision inoperative from July 1,
2011, to July 1, 2012, inclusive.
It also basic-aids more charter schools, which I think the LAO suggested, and a whole lot of other stuff, but there is a new Gail Carriger out so I have to read it all tomorrow.
This is a big relief. Sure, February is going to be brutal when if the magical massive revenues don't appear, but laying off a mess of teachers now is the wrong way to take care of the problem.
The BEST way to take care of the problem is taking care of Proposition 13, and the ballot initiative process with it.
In other news, I purchased school supplies today. SFUSD does central ordering, so specialty items that only the Kindergarten teachers might want tend to be paid for out of Kindergarten teachers' pockets. I bought a mess of card stock, flash cards, baskets and alphabet stickers. Also some glue dots and some new board games. I am replacing games that are still servicable but damaged this year and giving the damaged ones to my ex-Resident.

Hi, E. Rat. I'm another SFUSD teacher and I follow your blog. I was wondering whether you might consider writing a post on your blog about a project I'm working on for my school-trying to get people to vote for a playground for my school at http://www.refresheverything.com/muirautismplayproject.
You can read more about me and my classroom at www.muirautismplayproject and contact me there. Thanks!
Yes, I will.
