Transition to Phase 2
We want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we transition to phase 2 limited in person instruction. At this time we are closing the confirmation of attendance forms, in order to ensure we are able to establish our cohorts and social distancing measures. Confirmation letters will be sent to families reflecting their phase 2 commitment for participation. If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact the Special Education Department at 530-406-3150. Thank you again, for your time and consideration.
The District negotiations teams continue to collaborate with Woodland Education Association (WEA) and the California School Employees Association (CSEA) to develop agreements for the safe return of our staff and students for Phase 2 in-person instruction and other services. WJUSD is required by law to bargain the effects of a change in working conditions for its employees. However, as of yesterday (November 5, 2020), we have not yet reached an agreement with our labor associations. Therefore, it has been determined that we will need to temporarily delay the implementation of Phase 2 . WJUSD is committed to continue working towards providing in-person instructional services to students with special needs and we will keep you informed as we progress towards a new start date.
We want to thank you for your understanding during this time. Please do not hesitate to contact the Special Education Department with any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Queremos agradecer a todos por su paciencia y comprensión mientras hacemos la transición a la fase 2 de instrucción limitada en persona. En este momento estamos cerrando los formularios de confirmación de asistencia, con el fin de asegurarnos de poder establecer nuestros grupos y medidas de distanciamiento social. Se enviarán cartas de confirmación a las familias reflejando su compromiso de participación en la fase 2. Si tiene preguntas sobre este asunto, comuníquese con el departamento de Educación Especial al 530-406-3150. Gracias de nuevo por su tiempo y consideración.
Los equipos de negociación del Distrito continúan colaborando con la Asociación de Educación de Woodland (WEA) y la Asociación de Empleados Escolares de California (CSEA) para desarrollar acuerdos para el regreso seguro de nuestro personal y estudiantes para la fase 2 de instrucción en persona y otros servicios. WJUSD está obligado por la ley a negociar los efectos de un cambio en las condiciones de trabajo de sus empleados. Sin embargo, hasta ayer (5 de noviembre del 2020), aún no hemos llegado a un acuerdo con nuestras asociaciones laborales. Por lo tanto, se ha determinado que tendremos que retrasar temporalmente la aplicación de la Fase 2 . WJUSD se compromete a seguir trabajando para proporcionar servicios de instrucción en persona a los estudiantes con necesidades especiales y les mantendremos informados a medida que avancemos hacia una nueva fecha de inicio.
Queremos agradecerles su comprensión durante este tiempo. Por favor, no dude en ponerse en contacto con el Departamento de Educación Especial si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud sobre este asunto.
