April 2007, Volume 21, Issue 2 - Report from the CFT Convention PDF Print E-mail
By Martin Goldstein

      The CFT Convention, March 16-18, was held in downtown Los Angeles, and we attended the part-time breakfast on Sunday morning, before driving up the PCH to Malibu for the Fran Pavley brunch at Duke’s on the Beach. The things we do for the cause.

      The CFT represents primarily K-12 teachers, along with some Community College teachers, notably LACCD, led by the redoubtable Carl Friedlander, who attended the part-time breakfast at 7:30 AM that Sunday morning. He had just been elected head of the Community College Council (CCC) of the CFT, a post formally held by Marty Hittelman, who won the leadership of the entire California CFT, the first time a community college person has done that.

      Further, among the Vice Presidents elected, Mona Field is a trustee of the LACCD as well as a community college teacher at Glendale, and she will be Carl’s direct connection to the part-time movement.  In sum, a lot of attention is being paid to part-time issues with the CFT, and those who are paying attention to them are becoming more powerful and influential there.

      This is a good thing.
