According to San Dieguito’s current teachers contract, the San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDFA) shall reimburse the district one-sixth of the total compensation twice a year. However, California’s Education Code requires the Teacher Union to reimburse the District for all costs relating to time off from teaching duties by a Union President.

 

Assistant Superintendent Norton stated, “There is no reimbursement nor does the union reimburse the district for the cost of hiring a substitute teacher to teach Croft’s classes, which has cost the district over $124,000 since 2010.”

 

Trustee John Salazar implored, “Stop the insanity and have the union head (Bob Croft) either work as a teacher or have his salary 100% (including benefits) reimbursed to the district by the union.”

 

Put students first by shifting the culture from union to student centered.
