Rep Council Meeting November 6, 2006
Mike
Otinski moved to approve the minutes from September 5 and October 3, Dave Weaver
seconded. Motion was approved.
President’s Report, Gene
Smith- Negotiators have met four times
in mediation. Members should be aware of AB1200 which forcasts a
projection for 3 years to determine if the district can afford salary increase.
The next step will be fact finding. The budget mediation could take up to
3 months and 2 more meetings are already scheduled. When the fact-finding
process is finished a report will be sent to the board for their approval. There
is still a good opportunity to resolve this contract through mediation.
Vice
President Political Action, Gerald Fairman -On
Wed. Dec. 6, AVTA is planning for a rally and for BBQ. All teachers are
encouraged to attend and more information will be available soon. I thanked
