CEA members approved the revised FY27 budget, the President release-time by-law change, and Guideline 10 at our September General Membership Meeting. Three additional by-law changes received their first reading and will return for a membership vote in November. Review the proposed changes here.
The Fronteras employee-placement process is complete. Ten affected employees were retained at Fronteras or placed at other District schools. CEA also negotiated an earlier reporting date so employees would not be left waiting an additional week.
Contract negotiations are moving forward, and we are working with the District to schedule bargaining dates. Copies of the CEA and District proposals are available in staff lounges or through your building representative.
Sign-up is also open for the January 14–16 NEA-Alaska Delegate Assembly in Anchorage. Complete the Delegate Assembly sign-up form to get your name on the ballot.
Stay informed, stay involved, and contact CEA whenever you need support. We are stronger when we stand together.
