Tensions flare over shrinking Foothill budget - by Kevin Forestieri, Mountain View Voice

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District has been grappling with a shrinking budget at risk of getting a whole lot smaller starting next month, something that's causing tension between district officials and union reps over even a modest pay increase. Last month, members of the district's Faculty Association -- which includes more than 1,000 employees ranging from teachers and counselors to librarians and instructional coaches -- announced it was at an impasse with district officials over salary negotiations, claiming that the district was unwilling to budge on even a one-time pay increase of 1.56 percent. https://www.mv-voice.com/news/2018/06/01/tensions-flare-over-shrinking-foothill-budget
