Negotiations Update
Secretaries
After weeks of trying to get a date to continue negotiations, we finally have one to share. We will resume negotiations on Wednesday, September 28th at 9:30am at Central Office. The team is meeting internally on Wednesday, September 21st at 4:15pm at the Union Office. As a friendly reminder, during negotiations, I am limited by the ground rules regarding what we can share publicly. As I formal updates, I will send them out.
Paraeducators
I am still waiting for a response on a date from Central Office. They should have something for me today. One of the issues has been the change in personnel at Central Office. Two team members had to be replaced because they are no longer with the district. As I have updates, I will send them out.
