Dade Schools Employee

By William Gjebre, BrowardBulldog.org

Faced with continued financial problems, Miami-Dade public school officials are recommending the layoff of more than 200 employees directly involved or in support of construction and maintenance operations.

Citing a drastic reduction in funding for capital projects and the need to balance the 2011-2012 budget, Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools Alberto Carvalho outlined a reorganization and reduction-in-force plan in an agenda item that the Miami-Dade School Board will consider Wednesday.

Broward Schools, faced with a possible restructuring its construction department in the wake of a scathing critique by the Statewide Grand Jury, could seek similar cuts.

The proposed Miami-Dade job reductions — and other major actions — are:

• 60 employees, some of them project managers, represented by the Dade County School Administrators’ Association (DCSAA), a union of professional and technical employees; many work in facilities and maintenance as supervisors. Some of the layoffs will be phased as capital projects are completed.
• 23 higher paid secretarial employees in a grouping referred to as Confidential Exempt.
• 280 computer technicians and specialists represented by the Dade County School Maintenance Employee Committee (DCSMEC), a union of skilled trades employees. Approximately 200 will be rehired as temporary employees.
• 48 non-instructional employees performing office work in various district offices, represented by the United Teachers of Dade.
• Four administrative employees in a grouping referred to as Managerial Exempt Personnel.
• A $5 million giveback, for one year, of compensation previously negotiated by DCSMEC in lieu of layoffs.
• Downsizing of the capital construction force, to include the elimination of some job groups and the lowering of job pay grades.

The overall impact of the savings is about $27 million, according to the memo from Carvalho’s office.
