Negotiations Update

Many of you have heard reports in the press of a $31 million shortfall in Davis School District. We have been reporting over $23 million in shortfall. Both are correct. The higher figure includes a shortfall of $8 million in capital outlay which we do not discuss in negotiations.

All of the changes reported Wednesday were administrative decisions and had not been negotiated. We believe some may need to be adjusted and will continue to work on that as negotiations continue Thursday and Friday. The process has moved rapidly this week but has not concluded. Building Reps will receive updates at the meetings on May 10 and 11. If major progress is made before that time, building reps will be notified.
