Calaveras Unified Educators Set October 19th Strike Date |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/17/2017 06:27 AM
|
San Andreas, CA...The Calaveras Unified Educators Association (CUEA) has set a strike date of Thursday, October 19, 2017. While we are close to agreement on most items and issues being negotiated, the most significant gap appears to be with teacher compensation. We have offered a 2% salary increase and they have proposed a 6.5% salary increase and $100 increase to monthly benefit cap. Additionally, even as we face significant budget challenges, we have been able to address the following areas of mutual concern: Lowered average TK-3 class sizes to 26:1 this year and to 24:1 in 2018/19 (which is happening no matter the status of negotiations) Proposed increase to salaries of Career Technical Education teachers and Interns Increase compensation to teachers with class sizes over district maximums Initiate the formation of a districtwide safety committee

Posted by: thepinetree on 10/16/2017 09:00 AM

Jackson, CA...From the Amador Sheriff's Office.."Around 3:30 this afternoon the Sheriff’s Office received a report of a possible barn on fire in the area of Coal Mine Road and Reservation Road. Due to the wind and dry fuels the fire quickly spread, triggering evacuations along Camanche Parkway North, Coal Mine Road, Reservation Road, and Buena Vista Road. As of 6:30 P.M. the fire was fully contained, but sadly the barn and one home were destroyed. No injuries have been reported, all evacuations have been lifted, and a total of 12 acres were burned. The cause of the fire remains under investigation
