Subject: 16-Week Calendar Update
 
We are happy to report that CCFF and the District have signed the 16 week calendar MOU. (Click here to see a copy.) Included in the MOU is a tentative timeline for next spring, including when we can expect the financial analysis to be completed so the process can move forward. We were also able to sign off on 4 years of 18-week academic calendars with the understanding that the calendars will change once a 16-week calendar is adopted. Furthermore, the Saturday and Sunday of both President’s weekend and Thanksgiving were clarified as non-instructional days. In other words, the campus is open on these weekends but classes do not meet.  Finally, the MOU clarifies the scope of the calendar committee’s work which will include completing the required documents and information as appropriate to submit to the Chancellor’s Office, as well as deciding on the pattern and the final 16 week calendar dates.
 
If you have any questions about negotiations or the 16-week calendar, please contact CCFF’s Vice President (and acting President from 12/14-1/3) Kimberly Rosenfeld at krosenfeld@cerritos.edu.
