WE HAVE A CONTRACT!
Last Thursday the Tentative Agreement was overwhelmingly ratified by CEA members and last night the School Board unanimously voted to ratify the CEA Contract! Thank you for taking an active interest in your contract by attending information meetings, calling, emailing, texting, and VOTING! Tonight was a long awaited moment and every member should celebrate this accomplishment. You stood strong and prevailed with a fair, reasonable contract that is not a step backwards and allows us to move forward with a certainty of the terms of our wages, benefits, and working conditions. Look for the one-time lump sum amount ($1500 pro-rated based on your FTE) within the next month and enjoy the benefits you fought to maintain! As I'm sure you know, MSEA is still in the depth of negotiations and the School Board and District team has made it clear that they are in no hurry to settle on a contract with their certified staff. MSEA members have been very supportive of us throughout our bargaining and other struggles such as the previous outsourcing attempt. I encourage you to continue showing union strength and stay united with our union brothers and sisters by supporting them as they navigate through their negotiations. Keep wearing your red on Wednesdays, hang one of their "I love Mat-Su Teachers" signs in your car, and show up to events when they ask for our help! I can't begin to express how proud I am to represent the members of our Classified Employees' Association. You never cease to be amazing and I am honored to serve as your President. Thank you for your unwavering unity and belief in union strength. In Solidarity, Karen salisbury, President Classified Employees' Association |

BARGAINING UPDATE:

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.
