With the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), first implemented in 1965 and renamed No Child Left Behind (NCLB) by President Bush in 2001, scheduled to take place in the coming months, CTA and the Burbank Teachers Association have a chance to persuade Congress to erase, rewrite and reauthorize! We need to erase the punitive and onerous provisions of the law so that it improves student learning and helps schools rather than punishes them.
After more than six months of difficult bargaining, culminating in a mediated agreement after the District unilaterally declared impasse, Burbank teachers, counselors, nurses, and speech therapists gained an acceptable agreement on salaries that assured at least 85% of our members would be at or above the L.A. County median at the close of this school year.
