LATEST NEWS FROM THE GTA

Find out about GTA's Week of Action from March 1st to March 5th.

The GUSD has said it plans to return TK-6 to in-person instruction after spring break. GTA and GUSD met at the bargaining table Feb. 19 and again on Feb. 24.  From these negotiations, we have learned more details about GUSD's plans, which we share in What We Now Know (02-24-21) and What We Now Know (02-19-21).  GTA and GUSD are scheduled to meet again March 3.

The GTA has also expressed concern for more than a year about the GUSD's creation of dual enrollment academies in our high schools without first negotiating the impacts of those academies on our members. Unfortunately, the Board of Education unanimously supported GUSD's plan to begin a Cloud Computing and Computer Science Academy at Glendale High School even before GTA had negotiated the effects of this program.
