Our first meeting with the board's negotiating team went well. We exchanged initial proposals for all items opened, and you have received an e-mail regarding those details. Elimination of the early retirement program by 2010, eliminating binding arbitration of grievances from the grievance policy and eliminating certain special services personnel from the bargaining unit are probably the most alarming proposals presented by the board.
You should have received a summary of our first meeting and a request to complete an electronic survey regarding several issues on Thursday through the school e-mail. If you have not completed the survey, please do so by mid-afternoon today (Sunday, March 2). The LNEA team will be meeting Sunday (today) at 5 to determine what kinds of counterproposals should be presented.
Dates for the next two negotiations sessions have been set: Monday, March 4, 4:30 pm, and Tuesday, March 11, 4:30 pm. Both meetings are scheduled to take place at the board office.
Please attend if you can.
