Sharing Budget Information with Your UFT Chapter Leader: A Tale of Two Spins
As Chapter Leader, I used to use Article 8(C) to force my principal to share info, which she resisted strenuously.
Sharing Budget Information with Your UFT Chapter Leader
An arbitrator recently determined that, under Article 8(C) of the Teachers’ Contract, chapter leaders and other union representatives are not entitled to the full view of a school’s budget on the Galaxy Table of Organization. The arbitrator determined that principals in all schools must provide their chapter leader and chapter committee with a copy of the School Leadership Team view of the Galaxy Table of Organization at the opening of the school year in September and before the end of the school year in June. Principals should continue to consult with their chapter committees regarding use of school allocations and any budget modifications. If you have any questions regarding this issue, contact Kellie Walker at kwalker7@schools.nyc.gov or (212) 374-5398.
How did we lose this arbitration when the info is readily available under the Freedom of Information Law?- Jeff Kaufman
