in-f' H if A l . . 1 M , Q 5 ' ., .1 l K S15 i 1 S QE' 144 l' Ll E S BIBO Collective Bargaining Law SB- T60 hasavffected all teachers in the state of California. BHS teachers as well as the restrof the district has,Lequested to the Board of Education that CUEA' CTA and NEA be recognized as th e i r -exclusive bargaining agent. The teachers of the district have proposed a contract to the Board to provide working conditions and salary compensation so that m e m b e r s of th e bargaining unit can provide their expertise to the education of our youth. The teachers returned in September without a settled contract and terms were still being negotiated during the early winter months. Despite the new law, our faculty also presented to the Board a proposal for a curricular pilot program in which the following has been approved: a competency level be established to attack the problem of reading and mathg guidance counseling be extendedg and the elimination of the grade HF , which will be replaced by no credit. The philosophy behind these changes is to insure that each student who graduates from Bloomington High School will be able to function within the basic skills as well as have some basic understanding of her - himself, the community, and the iob market. Naturally, the faculty is experiencing two new challenge with collective bargaining, plusthe final form of accreditation by the4Western' Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, and the new 'pilot curriculum. But, as a dedicated and close staff, these challenges are encountered with p rofessionalism.
