DJJ calendar

The academic calendar for teachers in the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was signed by Unit 3 negotiators on Jan. 25. The academic year starts Aug. 1, 2011, and ends July 6, 2012. The beginning of the 2012-13 academic year will be discussed over the following months and be announced no later than Nov. 15, 2011. Until discussions are held, it will remain unknown whether July 30-31, 2012, will be work days (this is reflected on the calendar).

Note: No Personal Leave Program 2010 (PLP) blackout days were proposed by the Education Service Branch of DJJ. The management team reaffirmed its commitment that DJJ teachers should be afforded maximum discretion in the use of furlough and PLP 2010 leave in consideration for pay cuts experienced as a result of both programs.

We recently completed the first Joint Labor/Management Committee meeting for Professional Development as provided for in article 13.18 of the Unit 21 Memorandum of Understanding between the state and Local 1000. This committee met and developed the first Unit 21 survey to gather useful information relative to the professional development needs of Unit 21 employees at the Department of Education.
