Bargaining Update

August 10, 2021

OEA and OSD met 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 
  • The District proposed continuing "Breakfast in the Classroom" citing increased student participation and a decrease in the financial encroachment into the general fund budget.  OEA raised a number of concerns including loss of instructional minutes, student safety while unmasking, mess due to spills, milk on carpets, rodents and insects, cleaning after eating etc.  The issue was tabled. 
  • The District shared the requirements for Independent Study as outlined by the State.  Teams agreed to create one year, full time TOSA position/s, to address this program.  Job description, duties, and other details will be available soon.
  • Safety protocols were reviewed with OEA.  The District will continue to provide PPE and follow the guidance of both CDC and VCPH.
