PEA Presidents MessageI have been given the privilege of
being on the CTA QEIA
Workgroup for the next three years.
At my first workgroup meeting one
of the items we went over was whatcharacteristics were common for
those QEIA schools that went way
up in their scores and hit their
benchmarks. Here is what they
found: First of all: Having
consistent and supportive principals
that were highly qualified accordingto the states definition of principal
standards. They worked in
collaboration with their staff as part
of a team. These would be
principals that respected andsupported their staff. Second it was
important to have regular paid grade
level collaboration. Next it was vital
to use data as a guide and a means
to find your direction in teaching. It
was also very important to have a
firm and strong plan on student
behavior. This would include
positive and negative consequences
for appropriate behavior whichwould establish a well-known
school climate. Students wouldclearly know what they can and
cannot do. Having student
incentives for doing well on the
CSTs so students have a cause fordoing well which, unfortunately,
many of them do not have. And
finally at the junior high level
having teachers with multiple
subject credentials so that they can
have their students for 2 to 3
periods of classes. This evidently
provides more of a cushion for theiradjustment to junior high and also
provides more relationship time
with students and with their
teachers. These are all great ideas
for all the sites to consider not just
for the four QEIA schools that
PUSD has. In case you are not
familiar with what QEIA is it stands
for Quality Education Investment
Act and it was a legal settlement
from the state of California to theCalifornia Teachers Association
when Governor Schwarzenegger
borrowed money from education
and didnt want to give it back.
CTA sued and won and the result i
that 500 low performing schools in
the state of California get a largechunk of money for 5 to 6 years.
With this money they are required
to keep their classroom numbers
smaller than current class sizes and
they have funds to spend to dowhatever is necessary to succeed
with students. The key ingredient
here is that TEACHERS are main
control of this program. They are
supposed to have the power to
decide how they want to spend the
site funds and they are also
supposed to be the watchdogs to
monitor the program. Our QEIA
schools are Rancho Medanos,
Parkside, Stoneman and Foothill.
They have very proactive QEIAReps as well that keep track of the
program and make sure we are not
out of compliance. We wouldntwant to lose millions would we?
QEIA reps are: Foothill/ Donna
Binkowski, Stoneman/Vicki
Krywokulsky, Parkside/Sharie

Meet Mary Hamlin of PEAsBargaining Team
My name is Mary Hamlin and I am one of the membersof the Bargaining team. I appreciate the opportunity torepresent the members of PEA.
I am a 4th grade teacher at Stoneman Elementary, andthis is my twelfth year. I have a BS in Organizational
Behavior from the University of San Francisco. Ireceived a Masters in Management from the Universityof Phoenix. I also earned my teaching credential fromthe University of Phoenix.
Prior to teaching, I worked in the private sector inTelecommunications for 29 years, as a proud memberof the union and as an administrator. During this tenure,I had an opportunity to participate in the bargainingprocess on both sides of the table.
I became active in the union two years ago, aftermeeting Chris Coan, PEA President and RosemaryLouissaint, CTA Staff Consultant. They wereinstrumental in working through some grievance issuesat our site. Their demonstration of professionalism anddedication to protect the well-being of our teachers hada profound effect on me.
I joined the bargaining team last year. We arecommitted to bargain for what is fair for our members.
We need all members tosupport our efforts bystanding in solidarity. Pleasestay abreast to all informationthat comes from your organizingteam.

February is Look ing in
Your Personnel F i le
Month
Have you ever checked your personnel file before? I know Ihavent and it is just a wise choice to see if everything inthere is supposed to be in there or not. You will never knowuntil you check it yourself. Here is the procedure:
Email Christine Ghiselli, in personnel, via district email and
let her know when you will be there to look in your file. Youare allowed to look at the contents, but you are not allowedto take anything away with you. You are allowed to makecopies of things, but once again they stay in the file. Here iswhat you should be looking for:
1. There shouldnt be anything in the file that you areunfamiliar with. For example, these might be warningletters or a letter of discipline.
2. You should expect to find evaluations, anddocumentation of hire, etc.
3. If something is in your file and you do not understand
why or what it is, make a copy of the document. Do nottake anything out of the file. If something is in the filethat you disagree with let PEA know.
4. If you want someone else to review your file, you mustgive written permission. CTA does not advise thisunless this person is an attorney or someonerepresenting you on some issue.
5. A teacher may also want to write down what is in his/herfile so that if anything is added later, he/she would haveknown what was in it on the date reviewed.
6. The teacher may be asked to show ID and to sign thathe/she is reviewing the file and this is standard
procedure. Good luck! Chris Coan

Ghost Fi lesEd Code 44 031
1. Every employee has the right to inspect personnelrecords pursuant to Section 1198.5 of the LaborCode.
2. In addition to subdivision (a), all of the followingshall apply to an employee of a school district:
Information of a derogatory nature shall not beentered into an employees personnel recordsunless and until the employee is given noticeand an opportunity to review and comment onthat information. The employee shall have theright to enter, and have attached to any 4derogatory statement, his or her owncomments. The review shall take place duringnormal business hours and the employee shallbe released from duties for this purpose withoutsalary reduction.
The implication of unofficial files is that theemployee is not informed what is in them;therefore, anything derogatory is somewastepaper. Only derogatory material that hasbeen brought to the teachers attention that issubsequently placed in the central personnelfile has any legal weight. Unless the employeeknows about the material and has anopportunity to attach his or her comments, thematerial is so much wastepaper and cannot beused in a disciplinary action.
The employee shall not have the right toinspect personnel records at a time when theemployee is actually required to renderservices to the district.
A non-credentialed employee shall haveaccess to his or her numerical scores obtainedas a result of a written examination.
Except as provided in the above paragraph,nothing in this section shall entitle an employeeto review ratings, reports, or records that:
Were obtained prior to the employment ofthe person involved;
Were prepared by identifiable examinationcommittee members; or
Were obtained in connection with apromotional examination.
In short, unofficial files are just that. The unit membersshould protect themselves by periodically examining theirpersonnel files and making a list of the contents, in case anadministrator violatesSection 1 or 2.

School Board Break fas t Speech
I am so pleased to welcome you this morning on behalf ofthe 325,000 members of the California Teachers Association.My name is Terri Jackson and I am a board member for theCalifornia Teachers Association, representing our members
in District C, which covers all of Contra Costa County andmost of Alameda County.
I bring you greetings from our CTA officers, President DeanVogel, Vice President Eric Heins, and Secretary-TreasurerMikki Cichocki. On behalf of CTA, I congratulate you on yourrecent election. You now have both the opportunity andresponsibility of providing leadership for your local schools.But all of us in this room have a common interest andresponsibility to provide the students of California with a free,quality public education.
A Little About CTAFor those of you who may be new to this role, Id like to tellyou a little bit about CTA.CTA is a union and a professional association for themajority of educators in public schools and communitycolleges in this state. Our members include classroomteachers, counselors, librarians, school nurses, resourcespecialists, community college instructors, and educationsupport professionals.
We have a 149-year history of advocating for publiceducation, from sponsoring legislation that established free,public schools in California back in 1863, to fighting for thestates first class size reduction law in 1895 when the stateset themaximum class size at 80 students! Fighting for ourschools, our students and our profession is a legacy we takepride in.
Education CoalitionWe also have a long history of working with school boards formore than 100 years. In recent years, CTA has been amember of the Education Coalition, working with othereducation organizations such as the California SchoolBoards Association, the California State PTA, the CaliforniaSchool Employees Association, the California Federation of
Teachers, and the Association of California SchoolAdministrators, to properly fund public schools, so we canprovide a quality education for Californias children.
State BudgetAnd speaking of funding schoolsone thing that was madepainfully clear in the Governors budget proposal earlier thismonth is that California needs new revenue if it is to closethe $9 billion budget deficit and protect public education,health care, and essential public services.
6The threat of more devastating cuts looms large if theGovernors tax initiative doesnt pass in November. Andremember the Governor had to pull the trigger on midyearcuts in December when revenues, though up, were not upenough to avoid cutting millions more from public educationand essential services.The Governor is proposing to increase Proposition 98funding forK-14 schools to $52.5 billion, but this ASSUMESCalifornia voters will pass his tax initiative in November.
If voters do NOT pass the Governors tax initiative, theDepartment of Finance says, it will trigger another round ofmidyear cuts, including nearly $5 billion to schools. Thatsequivalent to eliminating three weeks of classroominstruction.
The real fact that gets lost in all this is that California has theninth largest economy in the world. Theres plenty of moneyin the Golden State to provide a quality education for ourchildren, but because of an unfair tax structure and corporatetax breaks, California doesnt take in the revenue it needs totake care of its citizens. We must put a fair and equitable taxsystem in place for the future of our children and our state.
Tax FairnessTruly, if we are going to talk about improving our schools, wehave to talk about funding our schools and that starts bytaking a look at our state tax structure. Whatever you thinkabout the Occupy Wall Street movement, youre probablymore aware about the inequities in the tax system than ever
before. I have a few more statistics for you as well. Did youknow that the bottom 20% of wage earners in California pay11% of their income in taxes, while the top 1% of wageearners pay under 8%? And corporate income has grownover 400% in seven years, while personal income for folkslike you and me has grown just 28%. The growing inequalityof wealth and income is not a natural or randomoccurrence, it is by design. And this growing inequality andthe concentration of corporate power and executive wealthundermine the foundations of our democracy and the futureof public schools and colleges.
We must lead the way to tax fairness and stable funding. Wemust actively participate in affecting and shaping the politicaleconomy in which we live, including taxes and funding foreducation and other essential public services, as well as thestructure and operation of our economic life.
None of the funding proposals that are out there solve ourlong-term funding needs, but CTA believes we must cometogether with the broadest coalition possible in order to havea chance at passing any funding initiative.

CTAs State Council of Education will be taking a look atviable funding initiatives later this month and deciding whichinitiative is the best for our students and our state. We hopeyou will join us in supporting one initiative to increase statefunding and address the state deficit.
QEIAOne bright spot in our schools where funding wasnt cut is the Quality Education Investment Act, or QEIA, which wasimplemented in 2006; after CTA sued Gov. Schwarzeneggerfor money he borrowed from schools and failed to return.
It was just reported by the California Department ofEducation that about 85 percent of the nearly 500 at-riskQEIA schools exceeded three-year Academic PerformanceIndex (API) growth targets, one of the requirements forstaying in the program. Successful schools in District Cinclude
Burbank Elementary in Hayward Brookfield Elementary in Oakland Oak Grove Middle School in Mt. Diablo Peres Elementary in West Contra Costa
Thats great news, because it shows thatproviding extrastate funding for proven reforms like smaller class sizes atlower-performing schools, more professional development,counseling, and more collaboration among educators,parents and principals is helping to make strong academicgains.
Teachers at these schools are sharing best practices thatwork. Research has shown that QEIA has been a catalyst for
increasing teacher collaboration, improving instruction, andstrengthening the quality of professional development inseveral schools. There is an entire section on QEIA on theCTA website. Its worth knowing about.
Lets work TogetherFinally, I want to speak to you about something that concernsme personally, and that is the escalating attacks on myprofession.
I can tell you that Californias teachers are on the front linesof education every day, including classrooms right here in
District C. We are committed to teaching, committed to ourstudents, and committed to our profession, in spite ofmounting challenges and dwindling resources.
But the truth is we all are stakeholders when it comes toproviding a quality education for students. So hold all of usaccountable. Not just teachers.
Parentsmust ensure that their children come to schoolready to learn.Studentsmust be motivated to work hard.
Teachersand education support professionals must work toreach every student. 7Administratorsmust provide teachers with the support theyneed.And, together with our elected officials, we allmustprovide schools with the resources and support they need tosucceed.
We must invest in our classrooms and our schools. We knowwhat works: a sound early education program; smaller classsizes; greater emphasis on reading, math, science andtechnology; an education that includes history, arts, P.E. andmusic; a safe and supportive learning environment. Theseare the things that are needed in order to provide a qualityeducation.
And yes, we have to ensure that every child has a qualifiedand caring teacher.
Its become easy to bash and blame teachers. Its far more
difficult to find the will to thoughtfully undertake what reallyneeds to be done to improve our public schools.
Im a big Star Wars fan! Last year seemed to resembleEpisode V-The Empire Striking Back. Many so-calledreformers were vying for the role of Darth Vader, eager todestroy public education and criticize the educators and theunions that represent them. Educators have becomeisolated and feel devastated by the criticism and thedwindling resources for the classroom and their profession.We have become stuck in the carbonite of NCLB and otherso-called reform measures.
However, there is hope. Despite the ongoing challenges inpublic education, educators in the Bay Area have recentlyhad the opportunity to hear the voice of one of oursupporters, Diane Ravitch. Ms. Ravitch and other yoda-likesupporters see educators as important stakeholders inimproving and protecting the public education system, notblocking progress as so-called reformers have stated.Episode VI is a coming attraction. Educators, along with allthe previously mentioned stakeholders, will find the actionsnecessary to make public education and all other vitalservices a priority in California again. Stay tune for the
Return of the Jedi!
CTA is here, and ready to work as partners with you to makeour schools the best they can be.
We look forward to working with you in the coming monthsstatewide through the Education Coalition and here on thelocal level.

Unions 2.0 A Look at Unions
and t he Educat ion Profess ion
IntroductionThe United States has the bloodiest history of labor of anyindustrialized nation on Earth. It is a story rich in humandrama and tragedy. It is also one of progress and hope.
The Civil War and Reconstruction: 1850-1877Overview: The peculiar institution of slavery was obviouslya major cause of the Civil War. Yet, it was not solely a moralissue. Northern workers did not want to compete againstslave labor. How could they? As Northern workers sought toincrease their share of the wealth their brother workers in theSouth labored without compensation. Northern labor leadersand industrialist s thought the South was trying to destroycapitalism and spread its slave power aristocracy on thenation. Unfortunately, there was no solution except war, 8
but with the Norths victory and passage of the 13thAmendment the peculiar institution of slavery wasabolished. For blacks, the struggle was not over. A longroad toward complete freedom was ahead, as it was for allworkers.
1863 Emancipation Proclamation issued by Lincoln which
frees slaves in southern areas occupied by Unionforces.
1868 First federal 8-hour day passed, only applies to
laborers, mechanics, and workmen employed by thegovernment.
The Industrial Revolution and the Progressive Era:1877-1913This period was an amazing time of growth in America.Labor was in high demand to run these new industries.Unfortunately, the continued high population growth spurredby immigration helped to keep the value of individual workerslow, as there was a ready supply of people to fill thepositions. Yet this was an active and fascinating period inour nations labor history. Workers continued to organizeand resist when their way of life and or health werethreatened.
1882 First Labor Day celebration in New York City.
1890 The AFL, at their annual convention, announces
their support for womens suffrage.1903
Mother Jones (Mary Harris Jones) leads the Marchof the Mill Children to President Roosevelts homein New York. Many of the children are victims ofindustrial accidents.
1906 The International Typographical Union struck
successfully for the 8-hour day which helped pavethe way for shorter hours in the printing trades.
1908 Section 10 of the Erdman Act which deals with
yellow dog contracts and forbids a person beingfired for belonging to a union was declaredunconstitutional. (US v. Adair)
