SAN DIEGO DAILY TRANSCRIPTDecember 8, 2010

PLAs produce nothingbut more expense

Supporters of Project Labor Agreements make all sorts of promis-es. The promises are typically hollow, with the latest an unfilled"guarantee" about local employees on a PLA project in San Diego.

PLAs, sometimes called Project Stabilization Agreements orCommunity Benefit Agreements, are touted, primarily by uniongroups, as the panacea for lots of things. Supposedly they preventstrikes, ensure quality work, reduce costs, help with the regulators

Thinkand guarantee local workers will get the jobs.

Promising to help with the regulatory process is often a two edgedAbout It bit of double talk, especially if the project requires approvals by vari-By George ous politically oriented government agencies. If the owner or devel-

Hawkins oper won't agree to a PLA the union or its representatives suggestthere will be huge difficulties in ge tting the necessary permits andapprovals. This happened in Chula Vista on the bay front when a

•^ major developer-finally walked away to A.Fizopja.to avoid what thedeveloper called the "extortion" it faced from local unions.

Let's look at these bargains with the devil one at a time. First, strikes."Once again, it is my duty to inform you there has been an increase in work stoppages

on jobs governed by project labor agreements." — Joseph Hunt, May, 2008. Mr. Huntwas general president of the Ironworkers.

Ask the carpenters if they went on strike during construction work on the San FranciscoAirport several years ago. They did. Electricians walked off the job during construction ofthe Denver Airport . Both projects were "protected" with PLAs. Some protection.

How about quality work?Called the largest highway project ever built, the Big Dig in Massachuse tts saw poor

design and craftsmanship kill a woman when a three-ton concrete panel fell on her car. TheBig Dig, $7 billion over budget and five years late, was built under a project labor agreement.

The claims that PLAs reduce costs or at least don't increase costs are equally bogus.When a contractor offered, through the bid process, to build a power plant forPasadena, union groups threatened to strike. The bid was rejected and submitted forreconsideration with a PLA. The price went up. `All we did w as buy off on the PLA for$2.3 million," said incensed Pasadena Councilman Steve Haderlein. The incre ase wasmore than 15 percent because of the PLA.

Next we have the "assist getting the project approved in the first place" bo ast. Inexchange for union dues or fees and a greater likelihood union construction workers willget the bulk of the work without having to compete with merit shop employees, unionspromise owners they will use their perceived clout to get regulatory approvals andthreaten to delay the project unless there is a PLA. Hoping they will get projects off thedrawing board and into productivity quickly, owners accept PLAs.

Carlsbad has tasted that water. Years ago an East Coast specialist in desalination cameto Carlsbad and offered to build a major potable water project. The city and the compa-ny made a big deal about using a project labor agreement for the construction of theplant thinking that would help the company get the project up and running. Waterusers are still waiting. Construction has yet to start.

Often only half the equation produces fruit. With a PLA for Petco Field, the unionsgot the work and the dues and the pension support. The public got the field years laterthan hoped for and, with inflation, at a greater cost.

Finally there is the promise that more local people will get the work under a PLA thanwithout one. Again, facts contradict.

As of September 2007, less than one-fou rth of the skilled jobs on the PLA coveredconstruction of the professional b aseball field in Washington, D.C., went to local resi-dents. Fi

fty percent had been promised.

The most recent evidence that PLAs don't keep the work at home is with San DiegoUnified School District. There are 10 active construction sites covered by the PSA. Goalsfor employment of local residents were set for each. Not a single goal, some as low as 35percent, has been met. Not a single one.

Last year 92 percent of the construction employees on the non-PLA San DiegoCommunity College District projects were counted as local residents. Quite a contrast.

Project Labor Agreements do not produce anything but more expense. Quality, cost,local employees, on time/on budget characteristics and other me asures are subject tonumerous vagaries. None is resolved by a PLA.

Hawkins is retired after 35 years as a construction industry association manager. He was abroadcast reporter and news anchor in Denver, Colo. As a Navy officer, he saw action inVietnam in the RiverAssault Squadrons and is the recipient of a Silver Star and Purple Heart.

Voters cannot trust San Diego UnifiedBy ERIC CHRISTEN Monday, December 13, 2010

On Nov. 2 voters rejected San Diego Unified School District’s plea for more money. Proposition J needed 66 percent to pass but barely received 50 percent.

So why did Prop J proponents spend almost $200,000 of taxpayer money for “consultants” and polling? The polls must have shown it was headed for defeat and not worth $200,000 being wasted. They spent it because they could and therein perfectly crystallized why they don’t deserve more.

I was part of a coalition of parents, business groups and taxpayer advocates who opposed Proposition J, arguing that voters simply cannot trust this district and this board when it comes to money. The usual suspects who continue to make excuses for the dysfunctional status quo at SDUSD will argue that the public was in a foul mood when it came to tax increases. However, there were 18 parcel taxes on the ballot in California and only two received a lower percentage of the vote than SDUSD’s.

SDUSD can’t be trusted because it is a poster child of waste, fraud and abuse. Each year $1.2 billion is given to SDUSD with the expectation its 131,000-plus students will be educated, which comes out to $10,000-plus per student. In comparison, the Los Angeles Archdiocese spends $5,000 per student to educate its 80,000-plus students. Few would argue SDUSD taxpayers are getting twice the education of kids in L.A.’s Catholic school system. In fact, what they are getting would invite criminal prosecution if it were occurring in the private sector.

Using the California High School Exit Exam as a form of measurement, only 16 percent of SDUSD students are literate when they graduate while only 26 percent are numerate. This begs the question: How are these people allowed anywhere near machinery, let alone students, and what are they doing with $1.2 billion every year?

Let’s start with the latter. What SDUSD spends that money on has little to do with students and everything to do with perpetuating a system that exists to employ people and reward special interests, period. How else do you explain the fact that SDUSD has 16,000 employees but only 7,000 teachers?

From the mind blowing “golden handshakes” that see former finance directors take an early "retirement" only to be re-hired at $100,000 per year to do what they were being paid to do before leaving, to the taxpayer funded trips to Hawaii, money is just not a concern to these people.

Then there is the debacle that serves as the poster boy for the school board’s fiscal mismanagement and special interest favoritism: The $2.1 billion Proposition S school construction bond Project Labor Agreement (PLA). Voters passed Prop S in 2008 only to have three board members place a union-friendly PLA on it. To date, the results have been a 50 percent reduction in bidders on construction projects and a corresponding increase in costs.

What about the teachers? In 2008 only one teacher out of 7,000 was found worthy of being fired. Are 99.99 percent of SDUSD’s teachers really that good? No, but the union collective bargaining agreement that governs every aspect of a teacher’s existence makes it all but impossible to fire the bad ones.

But the real growth in the district’s budget is due to impossible-to-ever-meet employee pensions that prove the servants have in fact become the masters. At least you’d think all this money would get us courteous teachers and employees, but you’d be wrong. When a number of us spoke before the board to oppose the parcel tax, the boos and hisses that emanated from the employees who packed the board meeting that night left one incredulous.

I marveled the brave parents who spoke were able to keep their composure in the face of such boorish behavior.

Which brings us to how these folks get to be in the position of running this public employee agency. The unions run this show from top to bottom. Want to fire a teacher? Good luck with that. Want to bring in a superintendent to usher in real reform? How’s that been working out these past 12 years? Want to fund a slate of reform candidates and put students and taxpayers ahead of the big labor special interests? You’ll need to at least match the $200,000 unions can spend each election cycle, per seat!

Want to know who really runs SDUSD? Just look for the union label. Until this reality changes, myself and others will continue to educate the public on just why it is this district deserves not a dime more.

Christen is executive director of the Coalition for Fair Employment in Construction.

Cooking Up A Future In Business, Broadcast And Culinary Arts A new state-of-the-art facility at San Diego High School. By SUSAN TAYLOR

Updated 9:00 AM PST, Tue, Dec 14, 2010

Students at San Diego High School are celebrating new opportunities to learn about business, food and television news. The school recently unveiled its new state-of-the-art facilities for culinary arts management, finance and business, and broadcast-multimedia Production.

About 900 students will benefit from the three new facilities, which were built to industry standards.

The staff says this facility helps prepare students to create a future beyond what we can imagine today.

The facility costs about five and a half million dollars to build. The money came from a voter-approved bond measure.

Lincoln High Finally Gets a Feeder School

0 tweet

Sam Hodgson

Students come to Lincoln High School from a smattering of different schools because there are no neighborhood middle schools run by the school district that feed into it.

Posted: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 8:25 am

A desirable magnet school in Chollas View will save 70 percent of its spots for middle schoolers in the Lincoln High area, making it more like a local school, the San Diego Unified school board decided last night.

Doing so creates a new neighborhood school to feed Lincoln High School in southeastern San Diego, something local activists pushed for so that more students could go from elementary to middle to high school in their own neighborhood. But it also reduces the flow of students from other neighborhoods to Millennial Tech Middle, a change that parents bitterly protested and teachers said could dilute its science focus.

Great magnet schools that draw kids from all over the school district are important, said school board President Richard Barrera. "I would say it's more important that we first make sure that there's the opportunity for students to go to great schools in the neighborhood in which they live," he concluded.

The debate over whether to guarantee more room at Millennial Tech for local kids was an extremely touchy one. Neighborhood activists said it is unjust that middle schoolers in the Lincoln area have no neighborhood middle school run by the district, and that Millennial Tech could fill that gap. Parents at Johnson Elementary, an elementary school with a science focus, said setting aside space for local kids would ensure they had a place to continue their science studies.

Lincoln, in turn, has complained that because there is no local middle school run by the school district, kids scatter to other schools and there is no clear path to Lincoln, starving it of students. It also makes it hard for Lincoln to team up with its feeder schools to figure out what kids need at each stage.

It is a sore spot in a largely black and Latino community that has often felt underserved by the school system. "Our children should not have to fight for a seat at the table of quality education," said Johnson Elementary parent Pamela Moorehead. "That seat should be guaranteed to us."

Parents at the existing magnet argued that students from all over the city should get the same chance at the school. They said that setting most of the spots aside for local students would undercut its focus on science, since kids might just go there because it was convenient. Many students and parents held up signs that argued for 40 percent of the spots to go to Lincoln area students, not 70 percent.

"Forcing students to go into a [science, technology, engineering and math] magnet ... is in my professional opinion, counterproductive," said Willie Bogan, a teacher at the school.

One elementary school parent even argued that allotting more spaces for local students would invite in gangs, drugs and prostitution from the neighborhood, provoking angry shouts and gasps from the crowd. Another said that teachers would leave if it became a local school. The packed auditorium grew tense as parents argued publicly over which students should get spots in the school.

To provide more neighborhood middle school options feeding into Lincoln, the school board also voted to change Knox, a nearby K-8 school, into a middle school, and to increase the enrollment at Millennial Tech.

Expanding Millennial Tech to accommodate more students is estimated to cost $4 million in funds from Proposition S, its construction and renovation bond. School officials say the changes will not kick in until 2013 when the new facility is built.

San Diego Unified School Distinct saves $35 million on technology upgrades January 12, 2011 by sdcnews Filed under Education

Leave a Comment

SAN DIEGO–To support its 21st Century Interactive Classroom Initiative (known as “i21″), San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) is upgrading technology infrastructure at its schools. The digital learning environment for students and teachers is being enhanced with high-speed, wireless internet connectivity in classrooms throughout the district.

Over the next three years, this work will significantly improve internet and telecommunication capacity across the district. The work provides data infrastructure projected to serve digital learning for the next 15 years.

“The FCC E-rate program helps those schools that need it most get connected in the digital age.” said Stuart Markey, executive director of the Capital Improvement Bond Program (Prop. S). “We would not be able to do the scope of technology work in the district without this terrific program. My ‘hat is off’ to our facilities and technology staff who have aggressively and persistently sought out these dollars.”

Nearly 80 of the district’s schools meet the criteria for a federally-funded program known as “E-rate,” which is designed to ensure that all eligible schools and libraries have affordable access to modern telecommunications and information services. Under this program, these schools will also move from analog telephone systems to Voice over Internet Protocol, which will dramatically reduce operational costs. Approximately $2 billion annually is available to provide eligible schools and libraries with discounts under the E-rate program for authorized services.

In order to take advantage of this program, the school district is accelerating the scheduling of infrastructure projects at several eligible schools. Performing these technology improvements through this program will save the district a minimum of $35 million.

SDUSD’s i21 Initiative, and the infrastructure that supports it, are funded by Proposition S. i21 is a five-year, phased plan that began during the summer of 2009. Through i21 each classroom receives an interactive whiteboard, audio-visual cabinet, teacher presentation station and wireless

voice amplification system, as well as a document camera and DVD player. It also provides a laptop for each teacher and principal, and a netbook (small laptop) for each student.

For more information on the E-rate projects/program or the i21 Interactive Classroom Initiative, contact Cynthia Reed-Porter at [email protected] or (619) 546-3378.
