reasons;
January 9 is also the date of Governor Brown’s release of the Proposed
Budget for 2015-16
County Office of Education has challenged the District’s financial
condition
County Office of Education has notified the District of a $2.9 million
penalty that will be imposed due to a failure to make the minimum
percentage towards the classroom in 2013-14
The District has released it Fiscal Services Director and the Asst. Supt
of Business within the last several months
The District has two new board members that need to be brought up to
date on the budget and the status of negotiations
 Association made an argument against rescheduling. The Neutral ultimately made
the decision to allow the date to be rescheduled.
 February 13, 2015 – Third scheduled Fact-finding date.
Request to reschedule made
by the Association because of schedule
conflict with Association representative

 Settlement prior, during, or after fact-finding
 Mediated settlement by Neutral the day of fact-finding
 No settlement at Fact-finding and the Neutral writes a report. The
Neutral has 30 days after the hearing to write the report. The report is
not binding on either party.
 No settlement after the release of the report – ADTA is able to legally
strike.
The best option is to organize for a settlement as early in
the process as possible. Fact-finding does not solve the
problem – Organizing does!
