(1/26) 2nd AFT 2121 forum: Underfunding and CCSF budget crisis
Last week, the District announced their intent to send “March 15th notices” to full-time faculty. While 2021 brings hope, our CCSF community continues to grapple with dire circumstances produced by chronic and deliberate underfunding of education, poor fiscal management by the college administration, and lack of leadership from our Board of Trustees.
AFT 2121’s vision has always involved bringing more revenue into our college to support the robust, community-driven mission of CCSF. Together, we have saved classes, jobs, and healthcare during a global pandemic.
Yet we face serious problems. We didn’t win Prop 15, COVID eclipsed WERF funding, and our college reserves are gone. We’ve experienced cuts, layoffs, and campus closures. We must now, together, rise to the challenge.
What can you do?
-
Take a picture of yourself wearing your AFT 2121 t-shirt and holding a sign with this message: “SF’s COVID recovery depends on educators. Underfunding is the enemy. #SaveOurCCSF” Post it on your social media, send us your picture, and we’ll also post it on our social media: aft@aft2121.org
