2022–23 BCTF Budget Materials

1. Introduction The Executive Committee has completed its review of the following 2022–23 budgets and is recommending them to the Representative Assembly:  General Operating Fund (GOF)  Public Education Defence Fund (PEDF)—A100 Program  Provincial Bargaining Fund (PBF)—R120 Program. The 2022–23 Leadership Priorities adopted by the AGM, provided below, underpin the budget planning. That the Federation commit to collectively: 1. negotiate and support implementation of improvements to the collective agreement through collective bargaining. 2. advocate for the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of members during and post-pandemic. 3. advocate for and advance the future of public education in a world impacted by climate change. 4. advance decolonization and changes that address systemic discrimination and barriers within the education system and Federation structures. 5. engage and connect members toward recovery, strength, and solidarity. General Operating Fund Membership Fee and Revenue The Annual General Meeting set an overall fee of 1.69% for active members and 1.59% for active members who are Teachers Teaching on Call with allocation to various funds presented in the chart below.

Collective Bargaining Defence Fund: 0.220%

W.R. Long International Solidarity Fund: 0.027%

For the 2022–23 fee revenue, the Executive Committee approved a full-time equivalent (FTE) member count assumption of 36,000. As indicated in Financial Statement 2, the GOF budget projects members fee revenue, including net interest income, of about $42.68 million and expenditures of about $42.71 million, resulting in a budget deficit of about $26 thousand.

Amended Proposed budget Budget 2022 2023

Budget Considerations At the time of developing the budget recommendations, province-wide restrictions related to COVID have been lifted in British Columbia. Even as we transition back into in-person events and gatherings, the health, safety, wellbeing, and rights of all our members remains our top priority. We want to ensure that locals have access to resources and that our members are adequately supported as they navigate through a year of pandemic transition. . This year’s budget remains focused amidst the developing landscape. It contemplates themes like a transition back to in-person activities, our continued commitment to social justice, member engagement, and the assumption that collective bargaining will result in a deal by July 1, 2022. For the first time in over two years, the budget optimistically reflects that all events and meetings will be in-person, that travel will be practical, and that members and other guests will be in the BCTF building. As such, program budgets were increased back to pre-pandemic levels. Though the budget is presented in this way, it is with the understanding that in-person 2


gatherings can be held safely and that proper health and safety protocols are followed. In addition to increasing the budget due to in-person events, costs assumptions such as the rates for flights and accommodations have been increased because of rising inflation rates. COVID Support Recognizing that locals and members will face ongoing issues and pressures during this transitory period, the budget retains various services to provide support. This includes the Special COVID Grant, mental health first aid training for local officers and local presidents, and continuing to provide Zoom licenses for both the provincial specialist associations and locals. Social Justice In this budget we are proud to introduce the new Antiracism and Anti-Oppression Office whose primary functions are: 1. to provide leadership, information, opportunities, restorative justice, and liaison on equity matters throughout the BCTF. 2. to identify throughout the BCTF those structures, practices, and policies which create inequity. 3. to initiate processes to identify gaps in equity policy and develop and/or facilitate the development of new policies, procedures, and programs that remove barriers to equity and ensure greater and equal participation of marginalized groups and members in BCTF. 4. to provide initiative in effecting cultural change throughout the institution so that equity becomes everyone’s concern and responsibility. 5. to collaborate with members for the continued work of addressing and dismantling systemic racism. 6. provide ongoing culturally sensitive supports to BIPOC members all over BC especially in isolated communities during their teaching career so that they are able to continue teaching in a dominant system. This initiative is a step toward inclusivity by helping make our union more accessible, representative, and to address the colonial structures that continue to present barriers. In addition to existing equity and inclusion initiatives included in previous budget years, this year there is also an Equity and Inclusion Grant for PSAs as well as research projects that incorporate Indigenous and antiracist methodologies included in the proposed budget before you. To further our actions on climate change, the budget has a provision to host an issue session focused on the impacts of climate change on working and learning conditions. As well, there is a budget to engage in a climate impact assessment to quantify the current climate impact of the Federation, in order to inform future work of the BCTF and its members around a climate action plan that focuses on the Federation’s operations. Other provisions that can be found in the proposed budget are for the bi-annual Aboriginal Education Conference, the Regional Social Justice Conference Grant, social media management, bilingual BCTF website, the Judicial Council and Internal Mediation Services review committee, a Member Outreach Grant, which are all designed to support and engage members and advance the Leadership Priorities. 3


Public Education Defence Fund The Public Education Defence Fund—A100 Public Education Advocacy’s budget reflects the planned completion of the multiphase advertising campaign to support the Federation’s public messaging regarding bargaining. Provincial Bargaining Fund The budget for Provincial Bargaining Fund—R120 Provincial Negotiations assumes that collective bargaining will result in a deal by July 1, 2022. Therefore, bargaining related expenses such the cost of the bargaining team or the bargaining conference have been excluded from the program budget. However, provisions to support locals with the implementation of the new collective agreement have been included such as the School Visits Grant, Contract Implementation Grant, and Collective Agreement Melding Grant. An overview of the GOF budget and related matters will be provided by BCTF President, Teri Mooring, Treasurer and CFO, Delwin Yung, and Executive Director, Amber Mitchell. 2.

Program Objectives 1.

To work with BCTF leadership in the development and execution of a multi-year technology plan that aligns with and supports Federation goals, objectives, and strategies.

2.

To select and provide BCTF technology, tools, and services that integrate and leverage existing infrastructure and technologies to aid in ease of maintenance and sustainability. Maintaining standardized solutions increases predictability and cost efficiencies—some of the reasons for small reductions in some technology budget areas over past years.

3.

To provide the Federation with well-understood, standard processes to allow staff to bring forward potential needs or problems, and to have them addressed. This process will assist IT staff to articulate the needs and problems, documenting options for resolution, including costs and impacts, and routing them to the appropriate body for consideration and approval.

4.

To reduce the Federation’s reliance on technology consultants. There is occasional need for specific technical expertise not held by in-house staff. It can be more cost-effective to purchase specific expertise when it is needed, rather than to maintain specialized skills. The objective is to train staff to take on these roles. Staff may need to be freed from current duties to receive training. For other specialized skills, it will continue to be more effective to purchase specific expertise for a short time rather than attempt to maintain specialized knowledge in-house.

5.

To provide reliable and secure email, webmail, and file transfer services to management, staff and BCTF activists.

6.

To provide services and support to staff and designated committees in the use of electronic communications, including provision of connectivity services to the internet for management, staff, locals, and designated committees.

7.

To maintain, enhance and support the Federation’s website in order to make BCTF information available; support of advanced Web technologies for communications; support for streaming/downloadable audio and video; converting information produced for print media to HTML format; train staff to post information directly to the website using the approved Content Management System; provide web space as requested to all BCTF locals and Professional Specialist Associations.

8.

To encourage staff to adopt new technologies (a) to increase service to and communications with activists and the membership at large, and (b) to decrease the costs of existing services and communications.

Total FTE—Covers 10.00 support staff.

AGM Priorities The Communications and Campaigns Division supports the 2022–23 AGM Leadership Report by ensuring that the five key priorities are fundamental to all our communications, both internal and external, at all levels: local, provincial, national, and international. The priorities are: The Federation commits to collectively: 1. negotiate and support implementation of improvements to the collective agreement through collective bargaining. 2. advocate for the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of members during and postpandemic. 3. advocate for and advance the future of public education in a world impacted by climate change. 4. advance decolonization and changes that address systemic discrimination and barriers within the education system and Federation structures. 5. engage and connect members toward recovery, strength, and solidarity. These themes will be given top priority in media relations and outreach, as well as editorial planning for Teacher magazine, bctf.ca, and all other communications vehicles.

Research themes and projects, 2022–23 The BCTF Research Department carries out projects that support the leadership priorities and key objectives of the BCTF in bargaining, education policy, professional practice, and social justice. For 2022–23, research will continue to be carried out in relation to six key themes. Research will also be carried out on issues that arise throughout the budget year, as identified by the Executive Committee and other decision-making bodies, and as resources allow. The six pre-planned themes are: (1) Educational policy: This research theme focuses on critical assessments of historical and current changes to key education policy areas. The research is aimed at assisting members to critically engage with and shape education policy in BC. Planned projects are: History of the BCTF: This ongoing project positions the BCTF within the broader educational policy landscape, including the development of oral history interviews on video, short videos on specific topics, and articles and a book on aspects of BCTF history. Funding 8

H100 Research


for this year is to support the production of three short videos which highlight key events and developments in the history of the BCTF. (The project is led by a small committee including Ken Novakowski, Moira Mackenzie, Larry Kuehn, Richard Hoover, and Glen Hansman, and supported by BCTF staff; Budget $15,000; Note: $24,000 for casual support has been included in the H200 (Information Services) budget). (2) Equity and Social justice: This research theme aims to mobilize research as an advocacy tool, focused on social justice issues and enhancing equity and inclusion across BC. Planned projects are: 

The Landscape of Inclusion: This multi-year project explores the conceptual and contextual aspects of inclusive education policy and practice in BC schools. This year of the project will focus on collaborative research with key partners, such as parents and CUPE, and include a one-day Summit on Inclusion involving teachers, parents and support staff (postponed from 2022 due to pandemic conditions). (Lead researcher: Dr. Andrée Gacoin; Budget $15,000)

School Liaison Officers (SLOs) in BC Schools: This three-year project has two components. One explores the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) educators in relation to school liaison officers as well as their observations on how their BIPOC students are impacted by the SLO program. The second component is an analysis of police and education budgets across BC. This final year of the project will focus on data analysis and sharing findings. (Lead researcher: Dr. Michelle Gautreaux, Budget $18,000)

(3) Working and learning conditions: This research theme is focused on what teachers and students deserve, and what teachers consider to be the building blocks of a quality education system. This theme also engages mental health as a central issue shaping working and learning conditions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The planned projects are: 

Healthy and resilient schools: This project builds on surveys conducted during the COVID19 pandemic which tracked teacher experiences and perspectives in order to advocate for safe working and learning conditions across the province. The budget includes a follow-up survey (with external partner StratCom) to the January 2020 and September 2021 Health and Safety Member Surveys. (Lead researcher: Dr. Brendan Watts; Budget $20,000)

Collective bargaining research: These ongoing research activities directly support the provincial bargaining team, as well as locals (e.g., local bargaining surveys). They include research on working and learning conditions to track class size, class composition, specialist staffing and other working conditions based on analysis of Ministry data as well as crossjurisdictional comparisons. (Lead researcher: Dr. Brendan Watts)

(4) Privatisation, commercialization and globalization: This research theme directly engages with how neoliberal globalisation is impacting education in BC, as seen in the increasing privatization and commercialization of educational services, as well as the influence of the OECD agenda on BC’s education policy. The increasing role of technology, including how teachers navigate technological change and potential privacy issues, is a key area within this theme. The planned projects are:

H100 Research

9


Education Futures: This is a collaborative project, bringing together academic researchers and teachers’ unions. BC has been selected as one of four case studies that aim to reimagine the futures of assessment with teacher professional autonomy. The focus of the BC case study will be the tensions between BC’s focus on integrating Aboriginal ways of knowing and being and a neoliberal accountability framework. (Lead researcher: Dr. Andrée Gacoin; Budget $19,500)

(5) Member engagement: Research in this theme aims to support and cultivate members’ knowledge of, participation in, and rejuvenation of union goals and activities. The planned projects are: 

BCTF 2050: This multi-year project focuses on new members’ perspectives on and experiences of union engagement. The current focus of the project is addressing a silence identified in the initial member focus groups conducted in 2019: BIPOC members’ teaching and union experiences. A project team, made up of early career Teachers of Colour, will conduct collaborative research activities over the course of the year. (Lead researcher: Dr. Anne Hales; Budget $37,000)

Exploring Union-led Teacher Mentorship: This research initiative will engage six locals in documenting the activities and effects of union-led teacher mentorship. In 2020, the BCTF secured $12 million dollars in government funding to develop and support teacher mentorship initiatives and programs. Six locals will be invited to participate in a collaborative case study, highlighting the diverse contexts, needs, approaches and practices of teacher mentorship, as well as exploring the effects of union-led mentorship on teachers’ recruitment and retention. The project may also include the development of Summer Conference and Federation Leadership Institute sessions to further support locals in sustaining quality mentorship. (Lead researcher: Dr. Anne Hales; Budget $4,500)

(6) Research Longevity, Accessibility and Infrastructure: This research theme recognizes the need for internal structures and processes to gather, store and disseminate data. It also recognizes the increasing demand to build and support data literacy and methodological skills within the federation. The planned projects are:

10

BCTF Research database: The purpose of this ongoing project is to create an enduring research databank that is accessible (not requiring prior user familiarity with a given project), well-documented, searchable, secure, and backed-up. Activities will include: (1) determine accessibility requirements and develop databank standards to meet these and (2) incorporate a standardized archival process for the integration of new datasets into the research databank. (Lead researcher: Dr. Brendan Watts; Budget $1,500)

Historical member data: BCTF Research needs access to historical versions of the membership database for multiple organizational tasks (e.g., drawing samples, weighting survey data to be representative, long-term demographic tracking and other longitudinal research, membership counts, etc). This project is developing an automated archival system so that historical “snap shots” of our membership database are available to BCTF Research staff who require this functionality. This project will be developed in close collaboration with other

H100 Research


divisions, particularly member records and IT. (Lead researcher: Dr. Brendan Watts; Budget $2,500)

INCOME SECURITY DIVISION Director: Chris Harris Overview The work of the Income Security Division provides ongoing service and support to members and locals by developing, maintaining, and improving the ongoing health, sickness, and pension provisions available to members. The Income Security Division provides services to members in a number of distinct programs: Salary Indemnity Plan (SIP), Health and Wellness Program, Pensions information and workshops, Group RRSPs, WCB Advocacy Program, BCTF Health and Safety Program, and the BCTF Assistance Society. The SIP serves the BCTF membership by providing wage loss replacement for disabled teachers who have exhausted their sick leave. Payments are made first as short-term benefits and then as long-term benefits. Both short-term and long-term benefits are medically adjudicated. The SIP—Health and Wellness Program provides rehabilitation services to enable and support the return to employment of teachers who have been absent due to an illness or disability. Services are designed to assist with appropriate therapies and accommodation employment, and to facilitate the return to work of disabled teachers. This includes Starling Minds, an online mental health resource designed specifically for teachers and the Well Teacher Groups which focuses on developing skills related to improving the vitality and resiliency in teachers. The Income Security Division provides members with pension and group benefits information and assistance. Pension workshops are also made available to locals and provide an opportunity for members to get information on their pension benefits. The division helps the BCTF fulfill its role as Plan Member Partner of the Teachers’ Pension Plan by providing support and assistance to the trustees, and advice and reports to the Executive Committee, the RA, and the AGM, and to plan members on the operation and management of the Teachers’ Pension Plan. The Income Security Division also assists teachers in appeals of Teachers’ Pension Plan decisions. The Income Security Division is responsible for a number of group benefits. The division monitors and reviews the BCTF/BCSTA group life insurance plan, which is underwritten by Manulife. The BCTF Assistance Society provides financial assistance to BCTF members in financial emergencies. The Assistance Society Board of Directors adjudicates the applications, and the division administers the payment of grants and loans, and subsequent repayments. The Income Security Division provides two Health and Safety programs to members and locals. The WCB Advocacy Program provides advice and assistance to members injured at work, as well as representation through the WCB appeals process. The Health and Safety Income Security Division

Program works to address the health and safety concerns of members, and to enhance the wellness of members, and the safety of member workplaces. Finally, the division provides support for four committees and one subcommittee: the Income Security Committee, which acts as the SIP Committee providing advice regarding plan issues, and serving as the body to adjudicate short-term appeals; the Health and Safety Advisory Committee, which advises on health and safety matters, reviews WCB issues, and provides training to ensure the improvement of teacher health and safety; the Pensions Committee, which provides advice to the Executive Committee and plan members on the state of the Teachers’ Pension Plan; the Teachers’ Pension Plan Advisory Committee, which brings together representatives from the Pensions Committee, the BC School Superintendents’ Association, the BC Principals and Vice-Principals Association, and the BC Retired Teachers’ Association to provide advice to the Executive Committee and also provides advice to the plan member trustees on the Teachers’ Pension Plan Board of Trustees; and the Pension CAPSA review sub-committee which reviews the BCTF Group RRSPs to ensure that they are complying with the voluntary CAPSA guidelines for capital accumulation plans and monitors the performance of the BCTF Group RRSPs.

Q820 Legal Aid

11


601140-1149 Legal Fees—Legal Aid—PCU—Legal costs related to Professional Conduct Unit (PCU) cases on behalf of members. The PCU commences proceedings in response to reports of employer discipline (this includes all cases where teachers are suspended or terminated as well as most cases where the teacher has been merely reprimanded by the employer). The PCU also proceeds in response to public complaints and reports of criminal investigations or charges. The PCU responds to all reports and complaints with a relatively formal process which, even in the most minor cases, can take several months, and a considerable amount of communication from legal counsel, to resolve. In addition to legal fees, costs include disbursements for expert reports, release time, and travel and accommodation expenses for members and witnesses. See Note 1. 601140-1160 Legal Fees—Legal Aid—Criminal—Legal costs and disbursements related to criminal proceedings. The Federation provides legal counsel for members who face criminal proceedings in relation to matters arising directly out of the practice of teaching. The Division uses experienced criminal counsel. Criminal legal aid also includes legal representation for related Criminal Record Review Act proceedings. These proceedings are triggered by criminal charges and involve adjudication with respect to whether the member is permitted to continue working with children. See Notes 1 and 2. 601140-1162 Legal Fees—Legal Aid—Civil—Legal costs related to civil proceedings. The Division seldom provide legal aid for civil actions as matters arising from members’ employment can generally be addressed through the grievance process. However, in rare instances the Division will represent member in a civil matter who has been denied representation through the Schools Protection Plan. See Note 1. 601140-1164 Legal Fees—Legal Aid—Appeals—To provide funding pursuant to By-law 5.19 and Procedure 19.04, including appeals of denials of legal aid to the Executive Committee. Procedure 19.04 provides that the Federation cover the travel and accommodation expenses associated with appeals for the member and the member’s representative. It is the Division’s practice to also cover release time for both. See Note 1. Notes: 1. Legal Aid-related legal costs in excess of the subcodes 601140-1149 to 601140-1164 budgets (in total) approved by the Representative Assembly are charged against the Contingency Fund as set out in Procedure10.L.28. 2. Actual yearly expenditures fluctuate; however, amounts are based on projection of anticipated costs in this area.
