You get 10 days a year. Personal necessity days as well as discretionary days come out of your sick time. Unused sick days roll over to the following year and all subsequent years, and follow you as long as you are employed by a public school district in California.
As an incentive for bargaining unit members to serve or delay jury duty service until summer recess or other non-work days rather than serving during the regular school year, the district shall compensate members $100 per day for each day of jury duty actually served in the summer or on other non-work days. You must save your receipt of actual attendance and submit it to Human Resources in order to be eligible. See Article 13.1.7
Adult school teachers are not eligible. See Article 13.1.7.6 which pertains to Adult School.
There is no limit as to when you can submit transcripts.

BTA’s policy-making body is the Representative Council. All policies and issues to be voted upon are discussed by the Executive Board and it is their recommendation that is brought to the Representative Council. Representatives are elected by their sites.
CTA’s legislative and policy-making body is the State Council of Education, a delegation of more than 700 CTA members elected by their local chapters to represent their colleagues and to promote and advance public education. State Council establishes policies, including adopting positions on pending legislation, after extensive debate. As a CTA member, you can access the CTA members-only web site, CTA.org, and learn more about this democratic process.
A bargaining survey comes out once a year. You need to write down what article you would like to see changed or amended. You can also add other items of concern that you want to see addressed. As far as other suggestions, feel free to contact your BTA rep or BTA Executive Board member for appropriate level (elementary, middle, or high school). You can always call the BTA office (818) 846-1304 or email us at office@burbankteachers.org
Glad you asked! Start off by becoming a site rep. We offer training at the beginning of the year. It’s not hard and if there is another person who will share the position, there won’t be a huge time commitment. Read The Benchmark for opportunities to attend Future Leader training. BTA pays the cost of registration and hotel. There are also committees that need members such as Human Rights, Women’s Issues, Community Liaison, Safety, and Elections to name just a few. Being involved empowers you and your colleagues. You can always speak to any BTA Executive Board member if you need more information.
