Here are some of the items the Glendale Unified School District board
will discuss today:
2005-06 SCHOOL
CALENDAR
The board will consider approving the calendars for traditional,
year-round, "E" track, College View School, Early Education and
Extended Learning Programs, Foothill Area Community Transition
Services and the Counselor Work Year. Traditional-schedule students
in elementary, middle and high school and at College View School will
return to school Sept. 6.
The year will conclude June 22, 2006. Balboa, Marshall and Muir
elementary schools will shift to a traditional calendar this fall.
For students on the year-round calendar, school will begin July 7.
Jefferson Elementary School, the only school in the district on a
one-track, year-round calendar, will return to a traditional calendar
in 2006-07. Jan. 6, the Day of Epiphany celebrated locally as
Armenian Christmas, is a day off for all students.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The item will likely be approved.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
The board will discuss the initial proposal by local chapters of
the California School Employees Assn. The school employees union and
its Glendale Chapter #3 seek improvements and modification to several
articles regarding representation, hours of employment, wages, leaves
of absence, transfer procedures, vacations, disciplinary procedures,
safety conditions and duration and termination, for its successor to
the collective bargaining agreements for the union's units A and B.
The union wants the district to put a "Sunshine Proposal" on the
board's next agenda.

the district's salary schedules and placement, health and welfare,
conflict of interest and disclosure code and employee workplace
safety.

APPROVAL OF
2005-06 CALENDARS

Glendale Area Schools Federal Credit Union ATM machine next to the
district's Administration Center, at 223 N. Jackson St.
District officials believe the ATM would be a benefit to employees
working at the Administration Center, as well as those visiting from
other school and district sites.
