Update to our members
February 10, 2014
We are disappointed by last night’s meeting because we were led to believe that our board would all be present to try to settle this contract without our lawyers. Instead, they choose to send two members, the interim superintendent and their lawyer. They rejected our current 3 year proposal offered no data on universal pick up time. They did not have the data to answer the questions about universal Pick up time that the negotiation team asked on Thursday, February 6, 2014. They also did not have the answer as to when the community would be
informed about universal pick up time. We were told they weren’t comfortable meeting at the high school because it wasn’t a neutral location.
They simply offered us another meeting date in a week. We will meet on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 1pm.
We appreciate your constant support.
