Methuen Education Association
September 2017
Dear Members,
- The changes in the new evaluation tool need to be voted on October 2, 2017. If they are approved, we will post the new evaluation tool on line as well. The current evaluation tool is posted under contracts.
- We are still negotiating Unit C contract.
- Come join us at the General Meeting on October 17, 2017.
- The Eboard will be voting wheter or not we continue our scholarship program. Under the law, we cannot budget for it in our regular budget. It must be a separate account designated for scholarships only. Unless we come up with some good fundraisers, we will not have the funds to support scholarships. Union dues cannot be used for scholarships.
- ALL IN Campaign! MTA has launched this campaign to retain our memberships if and when the agency fee option is eliminated. Stay tuned as we will have meetings in the buildings to discuss what the devastating effect could be for our organization, MTA, and NEA.
- SAVE the DATE!!! MEA Retirement Party May 10, 2018 at DiBurro's!
In solidarity,
Donna Gogas & Carl Fowler
