Summer Update: Closures, Recall, Bumping, and What Comes NextSchool is officially over, and I think it is fair to say this has been a sad ending to an incredibly stressful winter.
With the closures of Larson Elementary, Meadow Lakes Elementary, and Glacier View, our number one job this summer is going to be watching the recall and bump lists closely to make sure every affected CEA member has a job when we come back in August.
If your position has been eliminated or you have been affected by the closure process, please fill out this form:
Job Elimination / Recall / Bumping Form
This will help us track who is impacted and make sure nobody falls through the cracks.
Evaluations should be completed by now. If yours has not been done, or if you were not included in the process, please let me know.
I will be out of state for the first two weeks of June, but as always, I will still be working from the road. For our 260-day employees, text me if you need help.
Bargaining is currently on a break until we return. Our current contract will roll over, with step increases intact, but with no additional wage increases at this time. Everything else remains the same as this year.
We made it through a rough one. Now we make sure our people are protected.
We’ve got your back.
