The UFEA Bargaining Committee met with the Board and Administration for a few hours tonight. President Karl Goeke gives an important brief update on behalf of the committee in this video. We are currently working on scheduling another session for July.

Thanks to the bargaining team. Hang in there. We support you to get a contract that it is beneficial to all members. I understand that a certain administrator does not believe teachers would use PLC time wisely if it were early release rather than a late start. I know I would use it more productively as I am always trying to get ready for class before school etc.
We have had bleak situations in the past where we almost had a strike. We picketed in front of the Unit 5 Offices during board meetings etc. It worked and we got a much better contract. We must not settle for contract that is not up to the standards of all the wonderful professional teachers in this district.
