Both sides met with the State mediator and presented proposals.  The day was spent reviewing proposals and counter-proposals.

The Association presented the District with language that would help allay some of the District concerns about next year.  Nothing was resolved and no agreements were reached.

But the Facts remain the same:

Fact: '07-'08 COLA = 4.57%(this is what CUSD is receiving)

Fact: '07-'08 CA budget is set

Fact: Increase in COLA and Increase in student enrollment

Fact: Over 5 million dollars in new money this year

Fact:  CEA made compromise proposals that would leave substantial monies in the Districts reserve and most likely increase the reserves this year.

Fact: CUSD offer to teachers = 0%

Continue to wear buttons!! CEA wants you to keep using your car signs everywhere you go!  Talk to parents and the community about the TRUTH!!  Refer parents to our website or call 257-2122.
