Contract Negotiations - Impasse Inevitable

Despite numerous negotiation sessions with the State, the State’s position on wage freezes and severe language changes appears non-negotiable.  The State's positions are unacceptable to the A&R Negotiations Team and after nearly a year of negotiations, the State has not made any meaningful concessions from its egregious positions. 

NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE: OCTOBER SURPRISE?

While big news was breaking in D.C. on Friday the 28th, the negotiation news out of Torrance was hardly news at all. It was simply more of the same – the same sad pattern of District indifference to the Federation's plea for economic parity with our peers at neighboring community colleges. Not exactly an October surprise.

Here are the numbers.

Federation proposal: Salary increases for both full- and part-time faculty of 6% in 2017; 4% in 2018; and 3% in 2019.

Updated Seniority List

There has been a sharp increase in retirements from State service during this calendar year.  As such, we have requested another updated A&R Seniority List as of October 1, 2016.  A&R has been reduced by 140 employees as retiremements speed up and the back-filling of positions becomes difficult.  There was another "higher than normal" spike in retirements on October 1 which are NOT reflected in this list but will be removed from any subsequent seniority lists we obtain.  A&R Seniority List as of 10/1/2016.

The Bastrop Federation of Teachers Endorses BISD School Bonds

The Bastrop Federation of Teachers executive committee voted unanimously on Oct. 13 to support the $75 million bond proposition for the Bastrop ISD and the Tax Ratification Election to increase the Bastrop ISD’s maintenance and operations tax rate by 13 cents.

These proposals will be on the Nov. 8 general election ballot.

“The improvements that be funded by these proposals will benefit our entire community,” BFT President Kim Chapman said. “We encourage the voters of BISD to support these two proposals.”
