Dear EAA Membership,
In my last update I suggested that EAA members should attend the work session on Compensation and Salary this Thursday, February 17, 2011. The school board has changed the agenda. It is now a work session on the CIP budget. The regular school board meeting, and work session on February 24, 2011 at 7:00pm will be the meeting to attend. There will be a public hearing at this school board meeting and the school board will be considering compensation scenarios in the work session.
We are asking that each building have a speaker come and convey the perspective of their staff. We would like several EAA members from each building to stand with their speaker as a show of strength. Our specific message to the school board is yet to be determined. It could be either one of support for the Superintendent’s new compensation package or rejection of the plan proposed. We are in the midst of talks with Dr. Sherman about the proposed salary, benefits and additional time for 2011 and 2012. Our position remains the same: any additional time must be compensated. We are meeting with Dr. Sherman later this week and will send information out as soon as possible following the meeting so you can tailor your school’s public hearing speech. If you have questions or would like help with your speech, please feel free to email me or Lisa Staib (lstaib@veanea.org, (703) 370-1121) for help.
For those who do not know, Dr. Sherman and I have a very tenuous relationship. There have been several challenging conversations and I have never stepped away from representing this organization with zeal.
Thank you and take care,
