KEEPING YOU INFORMED - Negotiations Update By Ruben Mancillas
I made the following remarks at the school board meeting this last Tuesday evening. They were given without notes so it is tough to see them transcribed as delivered without the opportunity for revision but the key point remains that our district needs to remain competitive. Improved compensation for our employees is essential for us to maintain the gains that we have made. A plan needs to be in place so that ABCUSD can continue to address our current needs and meet our goals in the future.

Video replay: ABCFT Employee Report - Ruben Mancillas
“Good evening, board president. Nishii, Superintendent Zietlow, members of the board, members of the cabinet, and all of the nice people who are here tonight, as well as everybody at home, staff, community, and families. My name is Ruben Mancillas, and I'm the vice president of the ABC Federation of Teachers. I would like to echo the comments made earlier and welcome everyone back to the 2025-2026 school year. It's always a time of hope and optimism, and we all embrace that. That really recharges our batteries and honestly that's what brings us back every year after a a summer vacation whether it's short or long, we always come back with that hope and optimism. I am, however, going to speak tonight a little bit about some stark reality and that is about the importance of having a plan moving forward so that we can be competitive. I mentioned it during our last meeting and you're going to keep hearing me talk about it. I, too, share the pride that our superintendent mentioned that we have our high schools are in the top 25%. It should be a goal that our employees are in the top 25%, too. Being in the top quartile has been a long-standing goal, and we need to meet that commitment because all of the gains, the wonderful gains that we had during this presentation about summer school, and the wonderful gains that we are justifiably proud of, those are due to people, to personnel. People provide those gains, and they need to be competitive. We will lose talented people. We will lose talented people. We already have, but we will lose talented people who are making these gains possible if we do not have a plan to be competitive. Ray and I, we go to the budget conferences throughout the summer. There is not a huge spike in COLA’s in the projections. And a COLA only environment is not one that is going to be sustainable for us to be on the path that we need to be on. Unfortunately, I think a narrative has taken place where if it is a bad year, I'll use the term ”bad”, if it's a bad COLA year, well, there can't be any gains, right? It's a bad year. If it's a good year, well, we need to watch out for a rainy day, so we can't make any gains. When are we going to catch up? And when I say catch up, I mean catch up because we are behind. And that's sad to say. I like to think of ABC as a leader, as a vanguard, right? We want to be academically, but we need to match that. We need to have that shared commitment when it comes to issues about compensation. At my undergraduate institution, there was a bit of a stereotype. There was north campus, that was humanities, and south campus was STEM. So it was the south campus geeks and the north campus freaks. Right? I am a proud North Campus freak. I love words…but I respect numbers. And we have gone down in enrollment from 22,000 students down to 17,000 students. We need to address that.
I came across a quote, and I would like you to consider it.
It's the idea that you need to be an active participant in your own rescue. You need to be an active participant in your own rescue. The teachers and nurses of ABCFT.will, of course, always be a partner with this district and with this board and with this community, but this community deserves an actionable plan moving forward. We need to be competitive, and we need to have a plan together. Thank you.”
SCHOOL BOARD REPORT:
Tuesday of this week, the ABC School Board had its second board meeting of the month. Typically, the school board has been meeting once a month but when there is extra reports, budget deadlines or other pressing issues the school board will schedule additional meetings.
Among this weeks agenda items, the school board welcomed the student school representatives who report throughout the school year about what is happening at their respective school sites. Each high school rotates reporting throughout the school year, much like elementary schools, which also take turns doing the Pledge of Allegiance and school reports. These reports are critical for board members because they get the opportunity to hear directly from students about their experiences at their school sites. Often, board members will ask clarifying questions and offer praise for the students. Overall, always been a positive influence on board members who have to make financial decisions for the programs at school sites.
The board has scheduled a special study session for September 2, in advance of its regularly scheduled board meeting on September 16. The topic of this special study will be budget planning and declining enrollment.
You can look at a more detailed slide deck, which shows enrollment at individual school sites and some financial factors that are impacting the district budget going forward.

UNDERSTANDING THE MASTER CONTRACT
Last week we had a lot of content and it was the first week of school. If it were me, I would have just passed by this contract section due to exhaustion. Hopefully, this week you have a little more time and energy to, at a minimum, print out or download these two sheets of contract clarifications. We will have more examples of how the contract language protects you and helps support what you do in your classrooms.

ABCFT PRESIDENT’S REPORT - by Ray Gaer
Consistent and regular communication is a union’s most important tool for advocating for its members at the bargaining table. Every conversation with members is focused on the result of negotiating for the future prosperity and well-being of ALL ABCFT members. This weekly report informs members about issues affecting their working and learning conditions, as well as their mental well-being. Our work as a Union is a larger conversation, and united, we make the YOUnion.
That first week was exhausting, but for the most part (knock on wood), ABC is doing well, and the enrollment numbers are down, but there doesn’t seem to be an impact by the actions of ICE in the community. There’s a story in the news below about the Los Angeles Unified School District and how it is not seeing the feared drop in student attendance due to ICE enforcement. School leaders and unions have been closely monitoring attendance because the calculations for ADA (Average Daily Attendance) have a significant impact on the allocation of funds to each school district.
This report was featured in the school board section, but I wanted to emphasize the importance of this document further. It outlines some of the financial highlights that happened over the summer. There is also a couple of slides that summarize the allocation of Federal funds, which make up about ten percent of our overall funding. What I heard at the board meeting was that some federal funding categories have the potential to be eliminated next school year, which could result in a new three-million-dollar loss in revenue for the 2026-2027 school year. I’m not being an alarmist here, but I think you should be aware that school districts are having to develop contingency plans because our federal funding is unstable under the current administration. August 19, 2025 Enrollment & Budget Update 2025-2026
Okay, now let’s switch gears to health benefits, the good and the bad. Last year was a tough financial year for ABC and most districts in the state of California. Your ABCFT negotiating team was able to secure a couple of wins during the time our school district was making budget cuts of $14 million, as we continue to operate in deficit due to declining enrollment. ABCFT was able to negotiate status quo costs for most healthcare programs, but we experienced some increases in our costs for Blue Shield Plans.
The picture above was taken at the Saturday conference I attended with other CFT locals, specifically to discuss healthcare costs, their impact on salary increases, and to share what is happening across the state of California in CFT union locals. As you can see, ABCFT has one of the top plans among all school districts within CFT, which has remained stable over the years, despite other districts eroding their health plans due to budget fluctuations. I’m thankful that the school board and the administration see our district's health benefits as a critical component of our overall compensation. Over the past year, the team has been working with other employee groups, the district administration, and board members to continue offering high-value health benefits, while also seeking long-term solutions to maintain our core commitment to health benefits and competitive salaries. Next week I will share how we compare in other categories to other locals. I hope that together we can learn about the costs and values of our health benefit programs, so that we all have a better understanding of how health benefits fit into the overall compensation picture. This kind of detailed information is sure to spark informative, high-level discussions, which will help us achieve a better understanding and develop more effective solutions.
Congratulations to those schools ranked in the US News and World Report. We will have more to report on this next week.
In YOUnity,
Ray Gaer
President, ABCFT
A UNION OF EDUCATORS AND CLASSIFIED PROFESSIONALS
CFT town hall a chance to connect and strategize
At the CFT Back to School town hall yesterday in Fullerton, CFT members from across Orange County got a chance to check in about how as educators and union members we can fight back against the Trump administration’s attacks on our public schools, our universities, and working people.
Concerned about the growing authoritarianism from the Trump administration, those in attendance got a chance to discuss how we can organize to protect public education, our students, and our democracy.
Attendees heard from Assembly Education Committee Chair Al Muratsuchi, UC-AFT member Christina Garnier, who is a candidate for Congress in the district currently represented by Republican Young Kim, and Orange County Central Labor Council Executive Director Gloria Alvarado.
During the open discussion, members from the seven CFT locals present were energized to fight back against the damaging moves by the Trump administration, sharing plans to step up and organize their colleagues to not just engage in street protests, but to engage with and build power in their communities.

Kentucky teachers face strict student communication limits
Lora Bartlett, chair of the education department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, critiques Kentucky's new law, Senate Bill 181, which restricts teachers from communicating with students outside of school-approved platforms. The law aims to prevent misconduct but unfairly assumes all teachers are potential threats. Bartlett argues: "We shouldn't ban texting because some people will write harmful texts," highlighting that only a tiny fraction of teachers misuse electronic communication. The policy undermines trust in educators and complicates their roles in the community, especially in rural areas where communication is vital. With Kentucky facing a teacher shortage and low salaries, such restrictive measures could further deter individuals from entering the profession.
Education Department recalls 250 OCR employees
The U.S. Department of Education is to begin bringing back more than 260 civil rights staffers that it tried to fire in March. Groups of Office for Civil Rights (OCR) employees will be be brought back in waves every two weeks between September 8 through November 3. The update comes after a Massachusetts district court judge refused to throw out a June 18 order requiring the department to put the employees back to work. “I hope they restore staff on the schedule they laid out, or hopefully faster. We’re not really sure it should take that long,” said Sean Ouellette, a senior attorney with Public Justice who represents the families and advocates who sued over the firings at OCR. “We’re a little skeptical because this only comes after the court called them out on the delay.” Since March, the Education Department has been paying the OCR employees about $1m per week to sit idle on administrative leave, according to the update.
Arizona district cuts standardized tests
In a significant shift, the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona will reduce the number of standardized tests for students in grades 2-8, following a memorandum of understanding with the Tucson Education Association. Starting in the 2025-26 academic year, students will take only the i-Ready tests, halving the previous number of assessments. Jim Byrne, president of the Tucson Education Association, expressed relief, stating: “We've already heard from elementary teachers... and they're just elated.” This change aims to provide educators with nine additional days of instruction. However, not all stakeholders agree; Arizona schools chief Tom Horne criticized the decision, arguing that it undermines educational standards. The move reflects a growing national trend among educators advocating for reduced testing in favor of more effective teaching methods.
Texas schools revive Confederate names
A Texas school district is set to rename two schools after Confederate General Robert E. Lee, reversing a decision made five years ago to remove his name due to its racist implications. The Midland Independent School District will change the names back to Midland Lee High School and Midland Lee Freshman High School, despite public outcry. Board President Brandon Hodges stated: “This is an emotional topic,” emphasizing the need for civility during discussions. Many community members opposed the change, arguing it would harm students of color, while a minority supported the return to Lee's name, claiming it honors the school's history. The decision reflects a broader trend of reinstating Confederate names in schools, contrasting with the previous movement to eliminate such references following George Floyd's murder in 2020. The name change will take effect in the 2026-27 school year and could cost up to $62,000

Trump cuts California sex ed funding
The Trump administration has canceled a $12.3m sexual education grant to California, claiming the state promotes "radical gender ideology." This funding, which supports sex education in juvenile justice facilities, homeless shelters, and schools, reaches approximately 13,000 youth annually. Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison stated, “California's refusal to comply with federal law and remove egregious gender ideology from federally funded sex-ed materials is unacceptable.” California officials maintain that their materials are medically accurate and compliant with grant terms. The cancellation reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and California over LGBTQ+ issues, particularly regarding gender identity in educational content. Despite the funding cut, California law mandates comprehensive sexual health education in schools.
California expands TK for all 4-year-olds
California now offers transitional kindergarten (TK) to all 4-year-olds, marking the completion of a 15-year expansion. With at least 200,000 expected to enroll, the program emphasizes hands-on learning and social development. “Now, there’s no question about who’s eligible and who isn’t,” said Early Edge California’s Carolyne Crolotte. Governor Newsom has invested over $2.7bn to support the rollout. Challenges include teacher shortages and impacts on existing preschools, but advocates like teacher Elizabeth Swanson emphasize TK’s inclusive, joyful learning model: “Everyone feels included and valued.”
Peer tutoring: A win-win solution
As California schools face funding cuts and the expiration of federal ESSER grants, EdSource looks at how peer tutoring is emerging as a cost-effective solution to address pandemic-related learning loss. Student tutors, often more approachable than teachers, provide academic help and build school-wide connections. “It’s a win-win,” says a student peer tutor, highlighting benefits for both tutors and tutees. Peer tutors gain communication and leadership skills, while schools ease teacher workloads without added expenses. Programs at schools like Leigh, San Mateo, and Acalanes offer scalable models, reinforcing that “schools should tap into a resource they already have—their own students.”

LAUSD kicks off school year with 92% attendance
On the first day of the new school year, Los Angeles USD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho reported a 92% attendance rate, up 2% from last year, despite heightened immigration enforcement concerns. "Today was a great day of joy, of happiness, of community," Carvalho stated, highlighting the district's outreach efforts, which included over 11,000 phone calls and 1,000 home visits. Teachers welcomed students with support materials in English and Spanish, addressing parental fears. While attendance was strong overall, Carvalho noted that the Region South had lower rates, likely due to increased ICE activity. The district plans to enhance its iAttend program to encourage student attendance.
California school board defies state policy
The Kern County Board of Education in California has voted to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports, siding with President Trump's administration amid ongoing legal disputes. This decision aligns with the federal definition of Title IX, contrasting with California's policies that have allowed trans inclusion since 2014. The board's resolution comes as Trump's Department of Justice sues California, arguing that the state's policies "eviscerate equal athletic opportunities for girls." Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledged the fairness issue, stating: "I don't think it's fair," while also expressing concern for the trans community. A recent poll indicated that over 70% of Californians support requiring transgender athletes to compete based on their sex assigned at birth.

AI assistants raise concerns for teachers
Artificial intelligence (AI) teacher assistants can significantly aid educators by saving time and enhancing student learning. However, a recent risk assessment report by Common Sense Media highlights potential issues, including biased outputs based on students' race or background. Robbie Torney, senior director of AI programs at Common Sense Media, emphasized the risks for novice teachers, warning of the "unintended consequences of a new teacher making decisions that could have long-term impacts on students.” The report also warns against the automation bias, where teachers may overly trust AI suggestions. While AI tools can improve educational efficiency, they should complement, not replace, teacher expertise. Proper training and oversight are essential to ensure these tools are used effectively and responsibly.
California aligns AI, policy, economy
California is embedding AI education into schools through partnerships with Google and Microsoft to prepare students for a tech-driven economy, amid challenges like business relocations and regulatory burdens. A state audit suggests $225m in savings from expanded telework, countering return-to-office mandates. Despite high-profile tech exits, California draws venture capital into AI and sustainability, investing in offshore wind, biofuels, and privacy protections. Governor Newsom’s administration backs this vision with major funding for small businesses and green initiatives. As the state navigates economic and environmental shifts, innovation remains central to its strategy.

Oklahoma's new teacher exam sparks debate
Oklahoma has introduced a new requirement for teacher job applicants from California and New York to pass an exam aimed at preventing “radical leftist ideology,” according to Ryan Walters, the state's public schools superintendent. Critics have labeled the exam a “MAGA loyalty test,” arguing it undermines educational integrity. Walters stated that the measure is intended to ensure that educators align with the state's values. This controversial move has sparked significant debate about the implications for educational standards and the hiring process in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has introduced a new certification test for teachers from liberal-leaning states, aimed at filtering out educators he calls “woke, indoctrinating social justice warriors.” The 50-question multiple-choice test, created with conservative think tank PragerU, covers U.S. history, civics, and gender-related topics. Questions include constitutional basics and biological sex determination. Walters said the initiative targets out-of-state standards from places like California and New York, emphasizing: “We’re going to make sure that this isn’t creeping into our schools.” Teachers who fail the test will not be certified to teach in Oklahoma.

Court upholds ban on gun hat
A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling regarding a Michigan 3rd grader, C.S., who was asked to remove a hat featuring an AR-15 style rifle and the phrase “Come and take it.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled that the school administrators acted out of a “well-founded fear of disruption” in the school environment, especially given the proximity to the Oxford High School shooting. Judge Chad A. Readler expressed concerns about the First Amendment implications, stating, “I find it difficult to accept the notion that displaying an image of a gun on one's clothing at school... would disrupt the school day in substantial ways.” However, Judge Eric L. Clay defended the administrators' actions, emphasizing the trauma experienced by students from the Oxford district. The case highlights the ongoing tension between student free speech rights and school safety concerns.
Judge blocks Trump’s DEI rollbacks
A federal judge has overturned two actions from the Trump administration that sought to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools and universities. U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher ruled that the Education Department acted unlawfully by threatening to withdraw federal funding from institutions that maintained DEI initiatives. This decision followed a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Teachers and the American Sociological Association, which challenged the government's directives. The case focused on memos from the Education Department mandating an end to “race-based decision-making” under the threat of losing federal support, a move framed by the Trump administration as a means to prevent discrimination against white and Asian American students.

Legal experts say districts unlikely to see upswing in special ed lawsuits
Legal experts say they do not expect to see a significant increase in lawsuits, despite a decision by the Supreme Court in June in A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools that endorsed a lower burden of proof for claims of disability discrimination against school systems. The case involved a Minnesota student with epilepsy whose request for classes that started later in the school day and went into the evening hours was rejected by Osseo Area Schools. The student and her family filed a complaint under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) claiming a denial of a free, appropriate public education. An administrative law judge found that the district had violated IDEA and awarded additional services to the student. A federal district court also ruled in the student’s favor. The student and family then sued the school district under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The same federal district court ruled against the student and in favor of the school district. The 8th Circuit upheld the ruling. “For school districts, frankly, I think the general impression people have is going to be overblown,” said Perry Zirkel, an expert in special education law. “I don’t see it having a major long-range effect for school district people or for parents.” Some people might have the impression that the removal of the bad faith and gross misjudgment standard “will open the floodgates” of litigation against districts, Zirkel said. “But it won’t open the floodgates, because all you’ll have is a different bar or standard or control for the floodgate, which is still quite high.”

ICE raid disrupts students’ school year
Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz, an 18-year-old student from Reseda Charter High School, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while walking his family's dog in Van Nuys. According to a GoFundMe page set up for his family, he is currently in a detention center, facing harsh conditions. A Homeland Security official stated that Guerrero-Cruz overstayed his visa by over two years. As the school year begins, Los Angeles USD is grappling with the implications of ongoing ICE raids, prompting officials to create "safe zones" around campuses to protect students. LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho made the case for community support, stating that the district is working to ensure the safety of vulnerable populations.
Child detained by ICE sparks outrage
In a troubling incident, ICE has detained a 7-year-old girl and her family, confirming reports from Nexstar's WPIX. The girl, a student at Public School 89 in Queens, was taken with her mother to a detention center in Texas, while her 19-year-old brother remains in custody in New Jersey. Queens City Councilman Shekat Krishanan expressed his outrage, stating: “It is disgusting that a child would be taken into ICE detention this way.” This marks the first known arrest of a child under 18 by ICE in New York City. The Department of Homeland Security noted that the girl's mother entered the U.S. illegally from Ecuador in 2022. New York City Public Schools emphasized their commitment to supporting affected families, assuring that their schools remain safe and welcoming environments. Attorney General Letitia James condemned the actions, calling them “cruel, inhumane, and wrong.”
ICE agents cause school concern
LOn Thursday morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were present in Napa's Bel Aire neighborhood, leading the Napa Valley USD to reassure parents that Bel Aire Park Elementary was not involved. Principal Kim Title communicated with the agents, who confirmed their operations were “contained to that specific location” and did not affect the school. The North Bay Rapid Response Network reported that ICE was “looking for someone nearby.” This situation is ongoing, and updates will follow.
LAUSD schools brace for immigration raids
As the new academic year begins, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is implementing measures to protect students amid federal immigration enforcement actions. Mayor Karen Bass described this as a “profound” moment in U.S. history, emphasizing the need for community support. LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho commented: “We are standing on the right side of the Constitution,” as the district prepares to counter any interference with education. School police and community volunteers will patrol near 100 schools, creating “safe zones” in heavily Latino neighborhoods. Changes to bus routes aim to minimize exposure to immigration agents.

COVID-19 rates soar in Southwest
COVID-19 rates in the Southwestern United States have surged to 12.5%, the highest in the nation, according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This increase is attributed to the highly contagious Stratus variant, which has become the predominant strain in the U.S. since its arrival in March. As students return to classrooms in California, the CDC has removed the COVID vaccine from its recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women, a decision criticized by public health experts. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that the previous policy lacked clinical data to support repeated boosters for children. A lawsuit from medical organizations argues that this decision violates federal law by disregarding scientific recommendations. Despite the CDC's recommendation for booster shots, only 23% of adults and 13% of children have received the 2024-2025 COVID booster.
American Academy of Pediatrics recommends COVID vaccinations for kids
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended COVID-19 vaccinations for all children aged 6-23 months, diverging from federal guidelines. The AAP's policy document suggests that vaccination should occur regardless of prior doses or infections. It also advises vaccinations for older children in specific risk groups. The AAP highlighted the challenges of shared clinical decision-making, noting that it "lacks clear guidance and does not emphasize the importance of vaccinating people at high risk of severe disease." Hospitalization rates for children under two years old are notably high, comparable to those aged 50-64 years, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In response, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the group of engaging in a “pay-to-play scheme to promote commercial ambitions of AAP’s Big Pharma benefactors.”

Survey reveals students' indifference to absences
A recent survey indicates that 25% of school-aged children believe missing three weeks of school is not a significant issue. This finding is alarming, especially as chronic absenteeism rates have surged since schools reopened post-pandemic. Melissa Kay Diliberti, an associate policy researcher at RAND, called the situation "concerning,” highlighting that while 75% of students recognize the importance of attendance, a notable portion does not. The report estimates that 22% of students in the U.S. were chronically absent in the 2024-25 school year, up from 19% the previous year. Reasons for absenteeism include illness (67%), anxiety (10%), and lack of interest (7%). To combat this, Diliberti suggests engaging parents and creating strong attendance habits early, emphasizing the need for community support to address underlying issues affecting attendance.

Back-to-school shopping shifts to pawnshops
As back-to-school shopping begins, many American families are turning to pawnshops for essentials due to rising prices from tariffs. According to a survey by the National Retail Federation, families plan to spend about 2% less this season compared to last year. Pawnshops offer a variety of items, including laptops and sneakers, often at prices up to 50% lower than major retailers. Additionally, families are selling gold jewelry to fund their purchases, capitalizing on high gold prices. The increase in pawnshop activity may indicate economic struggles, as many customers lack access to traditional credit.
