August 19th Negotiations Session

We met with the district negotiations team at our office today. It was the district's turn to bring forward a financial counter proposal. They did not, citing as their reason not having met with the school board since our previous session. The district team did bring several language items to which we are prepared to respond at our next session. In particular, they brought forward specific language that would subvert our seniority rights, despite the fact that we have been adamantly opposed to such language from the start.

So, it will still be the district's turn to bring forward a financial proposal at our next session on Wednesday, August 26th. We'll keep you posted.

Your negotiators,

Paul, Sandy, Vicki, LeMoyne, David, Gary, and Julie
