​The Classified Employees Association continues important work focused on strengthening and modernizing our union for the future.
Over the last several weeks, CEA leadership and volunteers have successfully rebuilt and reactivated a formal Budget Committee for the first time in well over a decade. This committee has spent countless hours reviewing records, rebuilding financial processes, verifying operational costs, and developing a sustainable FY27 operating budget grounded in actual revenues and expenses.
This work represents a major step forward in bringing CEA’s budgeting, accounting, and long-term financial planning fully into the 21st century while ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and long-term stability for our members.
General Membership Meeting Tonight📍 Palmer High School
🕠 5:30 PM
Tonight’s meeting will include:

• Presentation of the proposed FY27 operating budget
• Discussion regarding long-term financial sustainability
• First reading of proposed by-law amendments
• Organizational modernization and governance updates
• Membership questions and discussion

The proposed by-law amendments are intended to provide greater annual oversight and flexibility regarding:

• organizational budgeting,
• local planning,
• and the structure of the President release-time position moving forward.

These discussions are part of CEA’s continued effort to strengthen our organization, protect member representation, and build a stable future for classified employees across the Mat-Su Borough School District.
Thank you to every member, volunteer, and Building Representative who continues contributing their time, professionalism, and commitment to making CEA stronger.
