Negotiations Update - June 27, 2009
A letter to our community
The school board has made a proposal with a 3.5% average
salary increase for each of four years and that requests
increases in the teacher contribution to medical
insurance.
We believe the current Association counter-proposal is
greater than the 3.9% increase indicated in their press
release. We also believe the difference in cost between
the two proposals, which is about three-quarters of a
million dollars over the term of the contract, is
greater than the community is willing to accept in this
economic environment.
The school board regrets the turmoil resulting from the
nearly two years of negotiations. We can only ask that
our community keep in mind the starting point on which
these negotiations began with the Association at 6.8%
and the board at 4.3%. It has not been a easy problem to
solve.
The board will present a new proposal to the Association
in July. It will be a fair proposal. We thank you for
your patience and understanding, and hope the long
process is finally approaching its conclusion.
Next date set for negotiations is July 17, 9:30 am.

Students and Texting and

is becoming commonplace among adolescents and
teens. The district would like to make
parents aware of the danger. Please review
the attached links for some background on
these issues. The cell phone activity can
have criminal repercussions for children and
adults, particularly when someone holds onto
images or passes them along. These
activities along with images in face book
