PERB
Barbara S. Chapman and
Christopher Druzgalski v.
California Faculty
Association
decision

Rothner, Segall &
Greenstone by Bernhard
Rohrbacher, Attorney, for
California Faculty
Association.
Attorney Bernhard
Rohrbacher
Bernhard Rohrbacher and Michael
Hersh represented
Virginia "Gina" Boyd and
Tim O'Neill in the Maura Larkins case.  Their
goal was to prove that
CTA did not help the
school district violate the law.
Chula Vista Elementary School District filed
this motion
to prevent its lawyers from being
NAMED AS DOES in an OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE complaint.  Neither CVESD nor CTA
were defendants in the case, so why were
they so anxious for the suit to be dropped?

The Teachers Association of Long Beach
claims the district breached the collective
bargaining agreement and is seeking
compensation for 29 affected teachers
during the period 2001 to 2005, said the
union's attorney, Bernhard Rohrbacher.

Although the schedule change did not
extend the school day, it did make teachers
responsible for additional students, causing
the educators to spend more time outside
school grading papers and preparing
lessons, Rohrbacher said.

"The bottom line is the district did
something unilaterally to increase the
overall workday of the teachers" without
providing additional compensation, he said.
...
Rohrbacher said the contract states that
middle- and high-school teachers
historically have worked six periods daily,
one of which is a conference period that
teachers use to plan lessons, grade papers,
...
Likewise, teachers forced to teach an
additional class beyond the conference
period should get more money, Rohrbacher
said.

"When (teachers) teach during the
conference period, they have to spend
more time at home grading," he said.
...
Although the school's schedule change
occurred before 2001, the union is
prevented by the statute of limitations from
seeking damages that occurred before that
year, Rohrbacher.

I guess...I don't know...
