Companies OK contract for West Coast dockworkers
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A
spokesman says the compa-
nies that employ West Coast
dockworkers have approved a
proposed contract that restored
labor peace to sea ports that had
all but stopped moving cargo
earlier this year.
Steve Getzug, a spokesman
IRU WKH 3DFL¿F 0DULWLPH$VVR
ciation, said Wednesday its 71
voting member companies had
overwhelmingly approved the
¿YH\HDU FRQWUDFW ZLWKLQ WKH
past few weeks.
The dispute between the
association and the Internation-
al Longshore and Warehouse
Union disrupted international
trade at 29 West Coast ports that
each year handle about $1 tril-
lion worth of goods.
Union leaders have endorsed
the pact. Votes cast by members
will be counted Friday.
Negotiators for both sides
agreed on a tentative contract in
February.
The association represents
shipping lines and operators of
port terminals.

Public can comment on budget
at school board’s June meeting
By KATHERINE
LACAZE
EO Media Group
SEASIDE — Seaside
School District’s Budget
Committee finished work
on a proposed $21 million
budget for the next school
year.
The committee held its
second meeting before the
regular Seaside School
Board of Directors meeting
Tuesday and unanimously
approved the budget with-
out changing what was
proposed by district staff.
The committee will recom-
mend the proposed budget
to the s chool b oard at its
June 16 meeting, when the
board will hold a public
hearing and may enact res-
olutions to adopt the bud-
get, to make the appropria-
tions and to declare the tax
levy.
The proposed $21 mil-
lion budget includes in-
creased compensation for
all employees by at least
2.25 percent with steps
when applicable, according
to Justine Hill, the district’s
business manager.
Funds also have been
designated to implement a
full-time kindergarten pro-
gram at Seaside Heights El-
ementary School and Gear-
hart Elementary School.
The program will be phased
in at both schools with a
soft transition and staggered
start for students.
Two projected offsets
will allow the district to in-
crease allocations in school

year 2015-16 without mak-
ing reductions, according
to Superintendent Doug
Dougherty.
First, the Greater Seaside
Urban Renewal District is
set to expire at the end of
this fiscal year, which will
increase the property tax
value calculation and trans-
late into more revenue col-
lections for the school dis-
trict. The extra funds will be
used to cover the district’s
new full-day kindergarten
program.
Second, the district’s
Public Employees Retire-
ment System rates will de-
crease. The reduction, Hill
said, will provide about
$300,000 in savings, which
will cover salary increas-
es and associated payroll
costs.
If the budget allows, the
district wants to add a spe-
cial education teacher and
assistant to address the so-
cial, emotional and behav-
ioral needs of students, par-
ticularly at the elementary
level.
A majority of the revenue
for the general fund, which
is designated for the dis-
trict’s main operating costs,
comes from local sources,
such as property taxes, and
state sources, such as tim-
ber revenue. Federal sourc-
es are expected to provide
only $7,000.
In other news, the school
board:
• U nanimously approved
a monetary gift from Thom-
as Briggs, a retired Boeing
employee who has been vol-
unteering with Seaside High
School’s robotics team and
at Seaside Heights Elemen-
tary School. His gift, which
is in the form of 100 shares
of Janus funds from an in-
vestment portfolio, is es-
timated at $5,908 and will
be split between the four
schools with the contingen-
cy that at least $500 must go
to the high school’s robotics
team.
• U nanimously approved
an interdistrict transfer pro-
posal, which states the dis-
trict will accept the follow-
ing number of students from
other school districts for
the upcoming school year:
one for seventh grade; two
for eighth grade; and 20 for
ninth through 12th grades.
A letter of interest must
be received by Dougherty
by July 31.
Preference is given to
previously approved trans-
fer students who regularly
attended a Seaside school
this school year or students
who regularly attended a
Seaside s chool but have a
new residence outside of the
district.
The transfers, Seaside
High School Principal Shei-
la Roley said, allow the
county’s principals to sup-
port each other and better
serve students by allowing
them to go to an out-of-dis-
trict school for specific rea-
sons.
For instance, some dis-
tricts do not offer certain
curricular programs or ex-
tracurricular activities that
other districts do, and the
interdistrict transfer gives
students the opportuni-
ty to go where their needs
will best be met, Roley
said.
