Paraeducator Negotiations Updates

Rally for Paraeducators

On November 9th, I met with paraeducators to discuss what has been agreed to in negotiations and what is left for mediation. With mediation being scheduled for Thursday, December 1st, I am asking the membership to come out to rally for our paraeducators. The Board of Education meets on Monday, November 28th. I am asking for members to come out starting at 5:00pm to show support for a fair paraeducator contract. I am looking for a few paraeducators to speak about their day and share what it's like to be a paraeducator. I am also looking for a few teachers to speak on behalf of the paraeducators they have worked with in their classrooms. The Board of Education meeting starts at 6:00pm at Nashua High School North. I am not sure if there will be anything on the agenda for people to speak about it at first comment, so it may have to wait until second comment. If you cannot attend the meeting, please consider contacting the Board of Education in support of a fair contract for our paraeducators.

Secretaries Negotiations Updates

Secretary Negotiations Update

The Secretary Negotiations Team met on November 15th. While we did not reach a tentative agreement, we did make some small progress. We are scheduled to meet again on Tuesday, December 6th at 10:00am at Central Office. Both teams will be bringing a comprehensive package of everything that is left of the table.

The new Secretary shirts have been orders. As soon as they are in, we will work to get them distributed to members.
