1. Meaningful raises for all staff: A $6,000 salary increase for all certified staff (certified teachers) years 0-14, and an $8,000 salary increase for all certified staff years 15+ B) A $3/hr increase for all classified staff (e.g. bus drivers, cafeteria staff, custodians) C) A $200 per month pay increase for EC and ESL certified and classified staff D) The reinstatement of Masters Pay E) A bi-monthly pay option
2. More staff in every building: 300 new positions, including but not limited to IAs, bus monitors, custodial and cafeteria worker substitutes, and facilities workers.
3. More time to do our jobs well: 10 teacher workdays free of mandatory PD or meetings (protected workdays) spread throughout the school year by adding 5 protected workdays in place of instructional days & clearing 5 existing workdays of mandatory PDs and meetings. All classified staff will be paid for a full day’s work on all additional workdays.
4. A seat at the table for public school workers: Recognition of our (DPS staff's) union’s right to negotiate with decision-makers about the DPS budget, our duties, and our working conditions (students’ learning conditions).
To win we need to unite a MAJORITY of DPS staff behind these demands. Step 1 is going to get a majority of staff to sign onto our PAPER PETITION with these demands. This petition is PAPER ONLY, so you'll need to connect with your union leaders to find out how to sign on.
