Partnership between Administration and Labor (PAL)

  • handshake

    PAL stands for the Partnership between Administration and Labor.  PAL has been an essential component of the relationship between the Fullerton Elementary Teachers Association (FETA), the California School Employees Association Chapter 130 (CSEA), and the Fullerton School District (FSD).  PAL centers around the key concept of “we will not let each other fail.” FETA, CSEA, and FSD have established shared Core Values which we call CIRCLES:

    • Communication
    • Integrity
    • Respect
    • Collaboration
    • Lead Learner (Growth Mindset)
    • Empathy
    • Student Centered

    These Core Values and the commitment to “not let each other fail” are at the heart of the PAL process.
