September 17, General Membership
This is not going to be a meeting where we sit around, read reports, and go home.
The decisions we make on September 17 will help determine what CEA looks like during the second semester and into the future. We will vote on the future of the President’s release-time position, make necessary changes to our FY27 budget, begin considering additional by-law changes, and open nominations for the 2027 NEA-Alaska Delegate Assembly.
We will also be talking about bargaining at a time when the District’s opening position is no raises for classified employees.
These decisions belong to our members—not just the President, the Executive Board, or the Bargaining Team. If you want a voice in what happens next, you need to be in the room.
