Glendale Unified Reaches Agreement with Glendale Teachers Association on MOU for COVID-19 Safety Measures
On Monday, September 20, Glendale Unified School District and Glendale Teachers Association reached a tentative agreement on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the effects of returning to full in-person instruction while mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 during the 2021-22 school year.
Highlights include:
The tentative MOU must be ratified by GTA membership and approved by the Glendale Unified Board of Education. Once approved, the MOU will remain in effect until June 14, 2022. Should the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health adjust guidelines for K-12 schools to become less restrictive than any item in the MOU, Glendale Unified and GTA will come together and reach an agreement within 14 calendar days (excluding Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break) after written notification regarding how to adjust District protocols. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within those 14 days, the District may exercise its discretion in adjusting its protocols to align with the current LACDPH protocols and guidelines. Glendale Unified is committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for all students and employees.
