=========================================================

Dear Jolie Wineroth,

It has come to our attention that UESF members and parents at some sites
have just heard about your March 26, 2009 Memo regarding the need to
have
the SSCs select the administrative selection process panel, and return
the
names to you no later than March 31st. Panel training has already been
scheduled for next week. Some sites cannot set up and complete the
selection process, and make themselves available for the training in
that
short of timeline. This is the second year in a row that there have
been
serious difficulties in the site administration selection process.

To allow a more orderly, participatory process that complies with
District
intent and obligations, UESF is requesting that you delay the deadline
for
return of the names on the selection panel for at least 1 week, and set
up
an alternative training after that time. Could you please send UESF a
list
of the sites that are participating in this process, and let them know
about
any extension/alternative training date(s) that are created?

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Sincerely,

Allan Brill

Proposition A
(Quality Teacher and Education Act of 2008)
Frequently Asked Questions
In June 2008, San Francisco Voters approved Proposition A, a parcel tax
which will provide additional resources to improve public education in
San Francisco. This document will answer many of the questions asked by
teachers in this first year of implementation.
When will the District begin receiving the funds from Prop A?
Half of the annual property tax payments, including this parcel tax,
will be paid to the County Treasurer's Office in November. The
Treasurer's Office will record the payments and pass the funds along to
the District. SFUSD expects to receive the first payment by January
2009. The process will occur again by July 1, 2009.
When will I see a change on my paycheck?
The changes in salary will take effect halfway through the school year.
Teachers will see the impact on the check scheduled for March 31st.
Teachers who were hired before 1993 and receive checks during the
summer will also receive retroactive payments to cover January and
February.
How do I know what my new salary will be?
You can find information on Prop A on the SFUSD website. You will see a
direct link to a pay calculator on the right side of the page. Your
contracts will also have a separate section detailing the new salaries.
Please note that old "steps" have been replaced with "years of
service". Since the old steps began at step 2, a teacher who is on step
4 on the old scale would look under 3 years of service to find his or
her PROP A salary.
I am interested in becoming a "Master Teacher". How and when do I apply
for the job?
Design of the master teacher program is now underway. Complete job
descriptions for master teacher positions and applications will be
available early in the second semester.
Prop A included extra time for professional development. When will it
be?
Additional professional development will be scheduled for second
semester after the parcel tax funds have been received. K-12 teachers
will have 9 additional hours, Child Development teachers will have 3
additional hours and K-12 paraprofessionals will have 6 additional
hours of professional development.
Teachers in my subject area are in high demand in the Bay Area. Will I
have incentive to stay in SFUSD?
Yes. Prop A provides additional funds for teachers in three to five
"hard to fill" areas. For the 2008-2009 school year, teachers in the
designated subject areas will receive the incentive payment at the end
of the second semester. The District is analyzing its data now to
identify the appropriate areas and will publicize the list when the
areas have been determined.
Turnover is high at my school. Will Prop A provide incentives for
teachers to stay at my site?
Yes. Prop A provides additional funds for teachers in "hard to staff"
areas. By January the District will publish a list of "Hard to Staff"
schools. Teachers will have an opportunity to voluntarily transfer to
any openings at those sites and all teachers at hard to staff schools
will have the opportunity to earn up to $2,000 in recognition of their
work beyond the school day beginning in school year 2009-2010.
Does Prop A have anything in it to help teachers who need assistance in
their classrooms?
Prop A builds on the success of the Peer Assistance and Review (PAR)
program. Two additional PAR coaches have been hired and will be
coaching teachers who need assistance. Teachers who receive two
consecutive "needs improvement" evaluations will be eligible for
placement into the PAR program. Teachers with satisfactory or higher
evaluations will now be able to voluntarily self refer into PAR to
improve practice confidentially with the support of a highly skilled
PAR coach. The referral form can be downloaded here.

Five period workday: Full-time secondary teachers teach five periods
and get one paid preparation period. Some teachers, particularly those
at small high schools and those who teach special education day
classes, have typically worked one of the five periods as counselors.
If you teach in this situation, you should see your name as the
"counselor" on the attendance sheets. If you are the counselor of
record, your schedule should include a period for counselling.

Public Employees' Rights to Due Process: Skelly

Public employees have due process protections on the job, as determined
by the California Supreme Court. The result of rulings in the Skelly
case, these are referred to as your Skelly rights.

Public employees are entitled to a "pre-disciplinary hearing." An
employee must be given a written notice of proposed disciplinary
action. The notice must include:
• a statement of the nature of the proposed discipline

• the effective date of the proposed discipline

• the reasons for the discipline

• the specific policy or rule violated

• a statement about the right to respond orally or in writing.

The purpose of the Skelly rule is to allow employees an opportunity to
respond to the charges and to request a reduction or elimination of the
discipline. It also allows for an opportunity to check out the evidence
that management has against the employee.
