ABCFT PRESIDENT’S REPORT - Ray Gaer
TEACHERS NEED TO START PREPARING FOR THE INEVITABILITY THAT WE MAY HAVE A SCHOOL OR DISTRICT WIDE CLOSURE IN ABC OR IN L.A. COUNTY
Over 1,500+ U.S. schools close due to coronavirus
(this was yesterdays headline which is outdated at this point)
ABCFT is encouraging the District to call a school closure at this time.
Well folks, it looks like we are heading toward closure of some sort and that decision will be dictated by our current State coronavirus crisis. Your safety and the safety of your students are paramount during this crisis. ABCFT is working to ensure that your families are protected and that you will not suffer any financial hardships brought about by this situation. Membership Coordinator, Tanya Golden and I will be available to answer your questions and help you through any crisis situation you may face. We will stand for you and with you during this extraordinary time.
I don’t know when this possible closure will happen but as we all look at the current news cycle it seems inevitable. I hope that you are now making preparations with your students to begin thinking about how your classes will function as a remote classroom. Please remember, it is not expected that your classes be perfect and that this curriculum delivery is temporary and not a move to a permanent online solution. If you work with students on a day to day basis you know that an online delivery of curriculum for our students has major flaws. This emergency situation in NO WAY condones or sets a precedent for any future move toward online platforms. I want to make that clear. There is no substitute for the face-to-face interaction and support you give your students every day and ABCFT is fiercely protective of that high standard of teaching. This expectation goes double for our nurses and the vitally important job they do for all our students. This coronavirus situation proves once and for all that people and relationships matter, humans matter.
During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been visiting sites and programs to make sure I was in touch with the temperature of the teachers and nurses of ABCFT. I am very proud to be the president of such professional and thoughtful individuals during such a health crisis. By no means are any of us prepared for the curricular, logistical, or mental challenges we will all face together but I do know that EVERY MEMBER I have spoken to has the right mindset to move forward for whatever challenges we will face. YOUR professionalism has guided our students and given your community a pillar of strength to hold on to during this emergency situation. It is what you were trained to do and it is what you do best.
ABCFT Chief Negotiator Ruben Mancillas and I will be working with Human Resources throughout Friday to ensure that all of your contractual needs are being protected. We met with the executive board yesterday and are thankful for the input we have received from many of our members regarding specific questions and issues that we will be addressing with the district over the coming days and weeks. We are communicating with the district that this is an emergency situation and that we need to maintain realistic expectations as we work together to solve the problems that will inevitably arise during this evolving crisis situation.
In Unity,
Ray Gaer
President, ABCFT

California school districts react to coronavirus crisis
Add LAUSD, San Diego, Downey, Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach to the list of closed school districts. Long Beach is closed for a month.
The state’s school districts are putting measures ranging from full closures to deep cleans into place, as the coronavirus outbreak continues to escalate. San Francisco USD is closing all schools for three weeks, beginning Monday and running through to the end of the regularly-scheduled spring break on April 3. Other large districts closing their doors include Elk Grove USD, and Berkeley USD. “Please know that the Board of Education and I do not take this decision lightly,” commented Superintendent Brent Stephens. “We wrestled a great deal to measure the costs and benefits of closing our schools,” he added, noting that the emergence of new coronavirus cases in Alameda County pushed them to make the decision to close. Meanwhile, unions representing teachers in Los Angeles USD and San Di ego USD have called on officials to shut the districts down as soon as possible. Based on the experience of other countries, a “proactive approach” is necessary, said Alex Caputo-Pearl, president of United Teachers Los Angeles. The LAUSD school board is scheduled to meet this morning in an emergency session for a status report from Superintendent Austin Beutner. Should the second-largest school district in the nation close, Superintendent Beutner said yesterday, it will partner with local public television stations BS SoCal, KCET, and KLCS to provide educational programming. According to the district, the stations are working to create schedules and online resources that teach to state standards. Teachers will get training in providing assignments that go along with the shows, and according to KCET, students will get assignments and materials to take home with them.
CFT LOBBY DAY REFLECTIONS by Tanya Golden
One of the many activities ABCFT is involved with and for our members is advocacy at the local, state and national levels. Recently, fourteen ABCFT Teacher Leaders and three union leadership members spent a long day at our capitol in Sacramento advocating for public education during CFT’s annual Lobby Day. After an early flight, teachers were briefed on the legislative educated related bills CFT is sponsoring, co-sponsoring, or advocating.
For most of our Teacher Leaders, this was the first time they had an opportunity to advocate in the state capitol on behalf of their fellow educators. They wanted to share their experience and reflections on this rewarding and exhilarating day. Click here for the Teacher Leaders Lobby Day reflections.
It’s early in the legislative cycle and as bills make their way through committees language is modified to appease lawmakers. CFT is currently sponsoring or co-sponsoring eleven bills regarding proper funding for public education, working conditions, student loan forgiveness and more issues affecting educators across California. Here’s a brief overview of the most important bills that would affect our members from early education to adult school.
- Increase Base Funding for Schools: Assembly Bill 39 (Muratsuchi) which would bring California to the national average of adjusted per pupil spending.
- Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE): AB 843 (Rodriguez) provides funding to reduce student loans for credentialed teachers in high need districts and subjects.
- Special Education Funding: AB 2291 (Medina) increase funding for special education and create a funding mechanism for state support of special education preschool.
- Adult Education Permanent Status and Funding Needs: AB 2682 (Medina) ensure Adult Education and CTE Teachers become permanent employees following a probationary period.
- Limit Student Standardized Assessments: AB 2636 (Quirk-Silva) would prohibit districts from requiring additional standardized student assessment.
- Student Loan Servicing: AB 376 (Stone). If passed, California would be the first in the nation to require student loan companies to treat student loan borrowers fairly by establishing a set of rights for them.

ABCFT MEMBER NEWS by Tanya Golden
Teacher Leaders Seeking Participants for Survey:
We are asking teachers within ABCFT to help with a Teacher Leaders action research by completing the Teacher Support Survey which is meant to better understand what teachers are going through in the classroom each day. It is also an attempt to collect teacher suggestions for resources needed in order to improve the working lives of teachers. Your participation will help the Teacher Leaders to advocate for your needs and requests to the Board of Education.

Committee on Political Education (COPE) Campaign:
What is COPE?
The Committee on Political Education (COPE) is an integral part of what we do here at ABCFT.
Without this committee and what it does, nothing. So, what does it do? As the name implies, its
purpose is to educate our members and, even more importantly, the voting public who reside within the boundaries of ABCUSD. The ultimate goal of COPE is to help pass local school bond measures and help elect endorsed school board candidates. One important consideration
Why Should You Care?
If we fail to ensure that a teacher and student-friendly board majority is maintained, we will lose
at the negotiation table, in the academic services and human resources offices. District personnel
ultimately have to answer to board members, not ABCFT. Therefore, we need district personnel to
answer to people who share the same values that we do.
What can you do?
If you would like to invest in future gains in health benefits, salary raises, fair and equitable working
conditions, please contact your site rep and they will give you everything you need to get started.
If you have any other questions about the use of COPE donations please contact abcft@abcusd.us
PAL Survey:
Most members have received their site/program PAL survey and should be completed by March 20th. Special Education and SLP members should complete the site survey based on where attendance is recorded. If you have not yet received your site/programs PAL survey be assured that it will be sent shortly. All comments are anonymous and should be focused on site/program issues and improving relationships. Upon completion of the surveys, the PAL survey committee consisting of three ABCFT leadership members and three ABC administrators will be reviewing the surveys for professional and objective comments. Words will not edit other than personal or inappropriate comments. This is your opportunity to provide constructive feedback so your site can reflect on the plan on how to best address the identified issues.
New to the PAL surveys are six questions the same across all sites to demonstrate trends amongst the schools. The intent of these questions is to gather information in one place so it goes beyond anecdotal and shows district-wide trend. For more information about the PAL survey click this link to the PAL Survey FAQ.
PICTURE OF THE WEEK
This week four ABCFT representatives attended the CFT EC/TK-12 Division Council’s second Special Education Summit. CFT locals from across the state of California gathered to reflect on the 2019 Special Education Summit report, share district issues, contract language, and best practice strategies.
Over twenty-five, local leaders and classroom teachers focused on union-wide strategies for prioritizing Special Education in Sacramento and how CFT can help to make this a national funding priority. This group also looked at what locals have done successfully done to talk with all teachers about how special education teachers and general education teachers are impacted by special education conditions.

MARCH ACADEMIC SERVICES UPDATE
Each month, Kelley Forsythe and Rich Saldana work with Beth Bray and Carol Castro to provide teacher input about professional development, curriculum changes, and testing changes. ABCFT believes that the biggest working condition impacting teachers are the key curriculum and the professional development being churned out of academic services. Many times the district is implementing changes that are coming from the State of California but rarely do unions get involved in those changes. ABCFT believes that the teacher's voice helps to provide the district office with classroom advice and input that helps to deliver better comprehensive changes. Each month at the ABCFT Representative Council Rich and Kelley give reports and take questions on all things related to academic services.
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
California has now registered numerous cases of COVID-19 due to the coronavirus and Gov. Gavin Newsom has acted quickly to put in place some worker protections and to slow the spread of the virus.
Additionally the AFT, through its nurses division, has compiled helpful information for educators and their unions. The AFT bulletins are designed to help workers stay safe on the job as well as provide proactive information to assist unions in making information requests of their employers.
The CFT will be posting more information here as it becomes available.
The latest CFT articles and news stories can be found here on the PreK12 news feed on the CFT.org website.

Not in ABC but…..Layoff Notices Are Going Out Across the State
Districts fear proposed budget won’t cover expenses
School districts in California building their budgets for next year under the assumption they’ll get a 3% cost of living adjustment are in line for a tough time. Gov. Gavin Newsom has included an adjustment of only 2.29% for K-12 schools in 2020-21. For a district like Elk Grove Unified, the state’s fifth-largest with about 60,000 students, the gap between the COLA that districts expected and what they’ll likely receive is $4.5m. Some of those without adequate reserves are giving preliminary layoff notices to teachers by the March 15 statutory deadline - Sacramento City Unified will serve notices to 50 teachers, Oakland Unified will lay off up to 100 central office and other positions, while West Contra Costa Unified plans to notify 230 teachers their jobs may be eliminated. Michael Fine, CEO of the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT), stressed that a 2.29% COLA is not big enough for districts to cover their expenses, suggesting that the break-even point for most districts would require a 4% increase in base revenue.
Pasadena Unified approves layoffs following school closures
Pasadena Unified is to issue notices to 55 teachers and support staffers, warning that their jobs could be eliminated ahead of the next school year. The majority of the layoffs are aimed at elementary and middle school teachers, particularly newer staff members and those who have fewer degrees or other special credentials. The move comes after the school board voted to close three elementary schools and one middle school last year amidst declining enrollment and associated budget shortfalls.
Paso Robles schools are making $2.3m in cuts
Paso Robles school officials must cut millions of dollars from the district’s budget amid declining enrollment and attendance, which includes laying off teachers, cutting classes and potentially closing an elementary campus. The district board of trustees on Tuesday night discussed solutions to a $2.3m budget shortfall at a packed meeting. Pawlowski attributed a California-wide school enrollment decline to a decrease in the nationwide birth rate. However, districts with more money in reserve are in better positions to weather enrollment crises, he said. Superintendent Curt Dubost also blamed the high cost of living in San Luis Obispo County and Paso Robles — especially expensive housing and its impact on young families. “We get paid by the state based on the number of students we get,” Dubost said. “And that number is going down.”

Over 1,500 U.S. schools close due to coronavirus
As of March 11, 2020, 4:32 p.m. ET, 1,561 K-12 schools in the U.S. have been closed or are scheduled to close because of the coronavirus outbreak, affecting 1,006,197 students, according to data collated by Education Week. Campuses are closing for many reasons related to the spread of coronavirus, which the World Health Organization has just labeled a pandemic, including exposures, cleaning, or planning for extended closures. The latest major closure is in Washington State, with Seattle Public Schools announcing it will close for a minimum of two weeks, beginning today. An email announcing the decision instructs principals to treat the closure as if they are going on spring break, and lists some guidance for going forward. The announcement comes after the district’s early move to stay open in an effort to make sure children don’t suddenly see a loss in services, including instruction and food for students who need it. The district is reportedly still working on the details of how working families would get childcare. To get food, starting Monday, students will have to get to 50 or 60 school sites; there is no plan to offer food on Thursday or Friday. Across the nation, millions of students rely on school lunches, more than 20 million of which are distributed for free each day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If classes are canceled, figuring out how to provide those meals to students is a challenge, with a web of federal rules governing when and where students can receive food. When schools close unexpectedly the USDA allows them to provide food to students using programs designed for summer meals, which are often offered at churches, parks and other community sites. The meal distribution sites must be located in areas where at least half of children come from low-income families.
Coronavirus quarantines could hit poor, rural students' education
Millions of students could struggle to keep up because they don’t have broadband to do schoolwork at home if the coronavirus closes schools. Such a “homework gap” could be devastating for students who can't easily use the internet, especially in poor urban areas and rural districts. “They will rely on e-learning as much as possible, but they have to have a backup plan in place, which could include a more traditional presentation of textbooks, work packets, pen-and-paper-based academics that support learning in a way that makes it accessible for kids that don't have internet at home,” asserts Noelle Ellerson Ng, of AASA, The School Superintendents Association. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond met with the state's county superintendents in Sacramento this week, where access to broadband fo r disadvantaged students and those living in rural communities was a top concern. In other news, the Los Angeles Board of Education on Tuesday declared a state of emergency, giving Superintendent Austin Beutner the authority to take actions needed to close schools if necessary in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The action is seen as a precaution that would allow Beutner to act quickly as the need arises in the nation’s second-largest school district. As of Tuesday night, there were no plans to close schools and no individual diagnosed with COVID-19 had a connection to an Los Angeles USD school, according to the district.
U.S. school closures continue to increase
As the coronavirus continues to spread, the number of K-12 students whose schools have closed or scheduled to shutter has surpassed 3.5m. On Wednesday, the number of K-12 students affected by closings or planned closings was slightly more than 1m. By Thursday morning, it had risen to 1.3m students. By late Thursday, Maryland announced it was closing all schools from March 16 through 27, affecting more than 889,000 students, and so did Ohio, affecting some 1.7m students. States with partial K-12 closures, according to Education Week, include California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont and Washington. The District planned to close schools March 16 for a day of teacher training related to the virus. Meanwhile, a new report show that a one-month closure of U.S. schools and daycare centers due to the spread of the coronavirus could cost the economy more than $50bn, or roughly 0.2% of total U.S. GDP, due to employees staying home to care for children. Closures would particularly affect low-income single-earner households as well as the front-line health care workforce, which could hinder response to the pandemic, according to the report.
Feds aware of coronavirus-related Asian discrimination in schools
The Federal Department of Education has alerted school officials nationwide to allegations that Asian students have been discriminated against over fears of the coronavirus. The department’s Office for Civil Rights underlined an increase in news reports regarding stereotyping, harassment and bullying directed at people believed to be of Asian descent, including students, unfairly tying them to the coronavirus because of its origin in China, and asserted that school districts are required to address such incidents under civil-rights laws. Numerous school districts have already reached out concerning discrimination of Asian students, especially in areas with reported coronavirus cases like Oregon, California and Washington state.

California’s school districts react to coronavirus outbreak
All large student and staff gatherings in Los Angeles Unified schools were canceled on Wednesday due to the coronavirus pandemic, Superintendent Austin Beutner has informed parents. “We are implementing, effective immediately, a series of steps based on recommendations from public health officials,” Beutner said in the message to families about 7:45 p.m. “All large student and staff gatherings are cancelled, as well as off-campus visits by students and staff to public places where crowds gather.” No schools are closed, but student competitions and sports games will continue “without spectators.” None of the confirmed coronavirus cases in L.A. County are known to be connected to L.A. Unified schools, Beutner told parents, and the social distancing protocols are a precautionary measure. Elsewhere in the state, school officials are closely watching guidanc e from health officials and preparing for the possibility of disruptions or school closures. “This is a unique situation that we are responding to daily and weekly as the story changes,” Los Altos School District Superintendent Jeff Baier said. Schools are emphasizing that they are following guidance from federal, state and local health officials about what steps to take. The entire nine-campus Los Angeles Community College District, almost half of the California State University campuses and numerous other colleges in the state announced Wednesday that they are suspending face-to-face classes and moving to remote instruction. Caltech, the five undergraduate campuses of the Claremont Colleges, Chapman University, CalArts and Pepperdine University are among the private universities that said Wednesday they would also transition to virtual or online instruction.
California lawmaker targeting Teach for America
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, D-Bell Gardens, herself a former math teacher, has launched a new effort to restrict Teach for America in California's public schools. In attempt to quantify the preparedness of young teachers sent to the state's schools, her new bill would require school districts to detail how many hours of training and coaching intern-credentialed teachers receive. Garcia, who has previously attempted to ban Teach for America from low-income school, says data called for in the bill will help inform new policies.

Coronavirus closes Elk Grove Unified schools
Elk Grove Unified School District , the largest in Northern California, has closed all of its schools for the next week after a family whose child attends one of its schools was put on quarantine for coronavirus. Spring break, scheduled for next month, will instead be moved to next week so that no school days will be lost. “After careful consideration and in light of the new information, effective immediately, the District will close its schools, cancel classes and any student-related activities from today, March 7 — March 13, 2020. Please know that to date, no student or staff has tested positive for COVID-19,” the letter said.
San Diego parents are concerned about special education, preschool changes in district
Dozens of parents and teachers packed the San Diego USD auditorium on Tuesday night, many voicing concerns about proposed changes they say may compromise special education for preschool-age children. The board discussed the changes but didn’t vote on them. It also discussed a need for $84m in budget cuts next year. Originally the board was scheduled to consider eliminating 43 special education preschool teacher positions on Tuesday, but Chief Human Resources Officer Acacia Thede said during the meeting that the positions will not be eliminated. Her announcement came after thousands recently signed an online petition protesting what some parents and teachers believe would be cuts to the special education preschool program. Teachers spoke of a lack of clear details about the changes the district plans for early education and special education. “The program works, and to blow this up makes no sense,” said Kisha Borden, president of the district’s teachers union.

Districts still seeking bond measures
Several local school districts are eyeing the November election for a second shot at passing a school bond. Measures put forward by the Cajon Valley Union School District, Chula Vista Elementary School District, Escondido Union School District, Lakeside Union School District and the Poway Unified School District came up short of the 55% approval needed to pass a tax hike for school facility projects, according to the county registrar’s Sunday tally. Just two local bonds passed this election, one for almost $53m and another for $55.5m, both floated by the tiny San Ysidro School District. Dozens of local school bonds were on track to fail this election, according to Ballotpedia.org and anti-tax group CalTax, while statewide voters appear to have shot down the only state measure on their ballot last week – the $15bn Proposition 13 school facility bond.

Woman pleads guilty to posting Nazi propaganda at schools
A Southern California woman has pleaded guilty to charges involving the posting of Nazi propaganda at Newport Harbor High School and on light poles near Fullerton College. Grace Ziesmer pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor counts of vandalism and graffiti in exchange for a court offer of 40 hours of community service and one year of probation. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office said Ms Ziesmer’s actions were a hate incident but she wasn’t charged with a hate crimes enhancement due to insufficient evidence that her actions were aimed at a particular victim for being Jewish.

Senate overturns DeVos' student debt relief rule
Senators from across the board united to overturn a rule backed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos which would have limited student debt relief granted to people defrauded by for-profit colleges. In a 53-42 vote, the unusual bipartisan move will now go to President Donald Trump - who can either sign the bill or decide to stand with DeVos by vetoing the legislation and letting her rule go come into force on July 1. Indications suggest that the President's advisers would recommend that he veto the resolution.
USC, UCLA and four other UC campuses announce transition to online learning to protect against coronavirus
UCLA and USC announced Tuesday they would cancel most in-person classes, joining the rising number of colleges and universities to limit classes, campus gatherings and travel to fight the global spread of the novel coronavirus. Four UC campuses in Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara and Davis also announced similar measures Tuesday, as eight of nine University of California undergraduate campuses have rapidly aligned plans to transition to online final exams and instruction into spring quarter. Berkeley, San Diego and Santa Cruz campuses announced earlier this week that they would suspend in-person classes.

Italy closes all schools
The Italian government has closed all schools and universities in the country until at least mid-March in a bid to contain the coronavirus outbreak. Schools already had the option to suspend teaching over the outbreak but this has now become mandatory. The country's education ministry has launched a website with information about how to deal with a possible coronavirus outbreak in schools, along with an information portal focused on remote learning after thousands of teachers participated in webinars on distance learning last week. In the northern town of Busto Arsizio, part of the region worst hit by the virus, Tosi High School is using web-learning to stream classes and headteacher Amanda Ferrario comments: "Our lessons continue uninterrupted. The teacher enters a virtual classroom, does the roll call and can see students connected on their devices. This could be a turning point in Italian education and a chance to create innovative methods."

Coronavirus presents opportunities for some
School leaders and parents have so far been particularly eager clients of the wealth of products which are set to benefit from the coronavirus outbreak, such as commercial cleaning companies and online learning programs. A school district in Ohio has already spent $16,000 on room-cleaning machines, a Florida district spent $45,000 on disinfectants and districts in Wisconsin have inquired about locally-made machines which blast an "aerosol fog" to decontaminate rooms which are priced at up to $110,000 per unit. Separately, as an increasing number of schools close in the U.S., online education companies are receiving a surge in new inquiries. A spokesperson for online nonprofit University of the People has seen a 200% increase in applicants from China and thousands more from Japan, South Korea and Italy since the coronavirus outbreak was first reported. Online education giant K12, which powers the platform used by many of the country's online charter schools, has even offered free help to traditional school districts that need to move their instruction online temporarily because of coronavirus-related shutdowns.
