CEA and MSEA
Let’s Rally the School Board!
Wednesday, December 4th
5:30 to approximately 6:30 pm
School District Office, 501 N. Gulkana, Palmer Alaska
The contracts we are fighting for are not just for us. Valley schools, staff, and students know how “doing more with less” affects the learning environment. Larger workloads, shrinking paychecks, second jobs, and still giving 110% makes it hard to focus on our priority - student learning. We have been moving backwards, and it is weighing on us and on our community.
Since CEA began negotiating (2/23/2017):
* Schools lost many positions requiring increased workloads
* Rising healthcare cost but no rise in income is shrinking our pay
* Over 130 members lost at least 12.5% of their income forcing many to secure second jobs in order to make a living wage
We are asking for a fair contract but the School Board wants to:
* Cut your 5 floating holidays
* Have you bear 100% of the increase in health insurance
* Drastically reduce longevity payments
We can’t afford to keep moving backwards. It’s time to show up!

WAY TO REPRESENT!
Eric Brown, NEA Executive Committee Member, was in the house at Fall Event! We had an opportunity to talk to him about some issues facing our CEA members like outsourcing, para injuries, loss of jobs, and how keeping our members informed and engaged is a struggle due to the size of our Borough, lack of home internet, and many members holding 2nd jobs.
On October 30th over 500 ESP's were attending some great professional development classes. A collaborative effort with CEA and the MSBSD working together, offering the PD our members are requesting.
