2009 Budget Battle to Stop the Drastic Education Cuts
Tell the Governor and our state representatives not to balance the
budget on the
backs of our students and our schools!
All UESF members are encouraged to send a letter, email, fax, or phone
call to Governor Schwarzenegger and our State legislators, demanding
that they fully fund our schools.
Letters are always best when written from a personal perspective,
detailing the effect the cuts would have on your students, your
schools, and your jobs.

G. REYNOLDS: MS WONG WOULD GET THESE OUT ON TIME EVERY DAY ON A ONE
SHEET PRINT OUT

I. OKUBO: MS WONG IS NOT HERE . IT IS MARIA AN MR. FLORES AN A IFFERENT
ATTENDANCE SYSTEM
J. GERBER: WHY DON'T WE HAVE SOMEONE FROM UBC COLLECTG THESE
K. BELLO: ONE PROBLEM TO SOLVE IS PLACING ATTENDANCE SLIPS IN ONE AREA
WHERE SUBSTITUTES CAN SEE THEM . THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS WHERE THE

HOMEROOM. GETTING SOME NOW FOR DECEMBER STILL. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT
COME UNTIL IN THE EVENING
R. REYNOLDS: THIS WAS DONE IN THE PAST. MS WONG WOULD COLLECT

CREATE A ONE PAGE SHEET WITH STUDENTS NAMES WHO WERE ABSENT, TARDY OR
WITH PTLS..
S. GALGANO: THIS INFORMATION IS NEEDED FOR DAILY RECORD KEEPING ACCURACY
T. OKUBO: BUT ATTENDANCE SAYS THEY ARE NOT GETTING ALL OF THEM IN SO IT
CAN'T BE DONE.
U. FLORES: WE ARE NOT GETTING THEM IN ON TIME AND WE ARE UNDERSTAFED
V. REYNOLDS: WE REALIZE YOU ARE UNDERSTAFFED , BUT MS WONG WOULD USE
RECORDS FOR THE FIRST THREE PERIODS AND THEN GET THE RECORD OUT ATER
LUNCH, WITH THE NAMES GIVEN FOR THESE PERIOS FROM TEACHERS ON SHEETS
GIVEN TO HER
W. FLORES: THIS IS A DIFFFERENT PROGRAM, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT. FROM ATTENDANCE INORMATION TYPE STUDENTS NAMES RECORDED

THIRD PERIOD READING/ELECTIVE CLASS
X. GALGANO: AT LAST UBC/ADM MEETING WE STATED WE WERE
GOING TO REVIEW THE REAING CLASS/ELECTIVE CLASS CHANGES AN THAT THEY
WOULD BE PUT INTO PLACE BY THE BEGININNING OF THE SEMESTER. THEN WE
CAME BACK THIS WEEK AN STUDENTS WERE BEING MOVED BEFORE THE GRADING
PERIOD EVEN ENDED AND MAYHEM WAS THE RESULT. I KNOW WE CANNOT GO BACK
AND REDO THIS BUT WE NEE TO MAKE SURE THIS FOLLOWS ARE AGREEMENTS AN
THE SITE PLAN. THE SITE PLAN STATES GRADE LEVEL TEAMS WILL DETERMINE
THESE CHANGES AND USE FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE TST RESULTS AND GRADES TO
DETERMINE THESE CHANGES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED.
Y. OKUBO: WHY DID THIS HAPPEN THIS WAY?
Z. FLORES: MS GIBSON THOUGHT BY MAKING THE CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
GRADING PERIOD , TEACHERS WOULD BE BETTER PREPARED AN IT WOULD CAUSE
LESS OF A PROBLEM
AA. GALGANO: BUT IT ONLY CAUSED CONFUSION AND THE GRADING CONCERNS
COULD LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH PARENTS.
BB. OKUBO: DIDN'T DR. GIBSON DISCUSS IF YOU WANTE THESE CHANGES TO BE
MADE
CC. BROWN: SHE ONLY CAME AN SAID I AM GOING TO MOVE STUENTS IN AND/OR
TAKE SOME OUT
DD. OKUBO: THEN THE UBC/ADM NEED TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO PREVENT THIS ROM
HAPPENING AGAIN
EE. GALGANO: WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN WHICH WAS AGREED TO AND MADE PART
OF OUR SITE PLAN , WHICH LEAVES ALL THESE CHANGES UP TO GRADE LEVEL
TEAMS TO DETERMINE. WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT.
