You’re right, Matt. I wish we had done a better job of stepping everyone through the process. In my perfect world, we’ll never need to use the RIF language again! You’ll truly be missed. –dz

I wish that the RIF process had been clearly articulated during my time there. Thank you for keeping us all so well informed.

Hope y’all had a wonderful 4th of July!
Bargaining continues as we enter the summer months. Our last sessions, on June 27 and 28, began with a continuation of the discussion on creating an efficient student calendar that provides simplicity for parents, individual employee time in support of student achievement and professional development time. We’re excited about our results and believe it supports the best use of time. This topic was followed by a discussion on the District’s RIF process this year. As a result of that conversation, there is a strong commitment by the District to have the Association be more actively involved in any future reductions. We then began discussing special education caseload (with the addition of Bob Hamilton and Alicia Skelley who provided added expertise) and class size.
While we had hoped to complete bargaining during this period (wishful thinking J), we still have components of the total compensation package to discuss. We have shared our interests and it is now critical to create the data and, in essence, cost out various options. We’ll be coming back together on July 23 and August 17. Continue sending us your positive thoughts!
Respectfully,
Tina Mahaney
