New School Calendar Pending
A
hot issue at last Thursday’s School Board meeting was the still unapproved
school calendar. The board
voiced their disappointment in the California State Employees Association and
the Amador County Teachers Association for not yet voting on the
proposed school calendars for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The board decided to table
the matter for one more meeting, even though talks have been delayed twice
previously. Although union negotiators accept the proposed calendars, the
members of each union must still vote on whether to adopt the calendar. The
board can approve the proposed calendar based on acceptance by the other two unions,
however, if all four unions are not in agreement, Amador County Schools could end up with 2 calendars - a
predicament they would prefer to avoid.
