Buckeye Union School District teachers plan to picket Back to School Night activities at Rolling Hills Middle School beginning at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 15.<\/p>\n
The district and the Buckeye Teachers Association ended the 2015-16 school year at impasse and could not resolved their issues over the summer. Negotiations have been ongoing since August 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuckeye teachers will be working to the contract day and, instead of the usual long hours preparing lessons, will be organizing to rally community support for a fair settlement,\u201d an announcement from the teachers association states.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn its initial offer BUSD made its \u2018last, best and final offer\u2019 of a 1 percent increase to the salaries of teachers plus a one-time bonus,\u201d the association notes; however, the association asserts that the district, thanks to increased funding, can offer much more.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Buckeye teachers offered several compromises in an effort to reach a fair settlement, BUSD and Superintendent David Roth did not budge from the initial 1 percent salary with bonus,\u201d the statement continues. \u201cUsing stalling tactics, impasse was declared by BUSD, forcing Buckeye teachers to meet during the last week of school in mediation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuckeye teachers will also continue every effort toward resolving the impasse with an agreement that is fair to both parties,\u201d the statement concludes. \u201cTeachers want to get back to what our community needs and what we love about teaching \u2014 being in the classroom (and) focused on our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roth said he had no comment on the negotiations or the planned event Monday.<\/p>\n
Rolling Hills Middle School is located at 7141 Silva Valley Parkway in El Dorado Hills.<\/p>\n
