Meet & Confer Negotiations between DAE and DPS admin (26-27 school year)

Our elected DAE Meet & Confer team will bring worker proposals (democratically crafted by thousands of workers) to district admin. See below for which topics we will bring to each session. #1 10/13 (Tuesday) Respect Our Time: Protected planning time at the beginning of the year and during work days throughout the year, so we can better serve students. #2 11/12 (Thursday) Trust Workers: All staff are able to work from home on non-required workdays. #3 12/3 (Thursday) Keep Workers Safe: Update Inclement Weather Policy so that workers aren’t required to use PTO or go unpaid when school facilities close. Staff deemed essential receive hazard pay. #4 1/13 (Wednesday) *Bi-weekly pay: All hourly classified workers have the option to receive either monthly pay or biweekly pay (every other week, regardless of the length of the months). #5 1/21 (Thursday) Safe Learning/Working Environments: Prompt repairs and remediation with clear timelines for issues relating to HVAC, mold, pests, and other safety concerns. #6 2/4 (Thursday) *Extra Pay for Extra Work: Follow up on getting printed annual contracts with clear duties and expectations, as agreed at the table last year. Clearly define extra duties and roles that deserve extra duty pay or stipends. *returning work from last year’s Meet & Confer Sessions
