PR Report – Kim

Kim needs help or a committee to be formed to help with PR. Tom Schutz will no longer be available to us as WEAC has scratched that from the budget. Kim will look into FEA hiring Tom as a consultant/how much that would cost. Kim signed buildings up to do 5 minute updates at the School Board meetings to keep them informed about the great things going on in our schools.

Old Business

Contract Status Revisions of the contract language have been going on. These revisions should come to the Executive Board soon. On a positive note, the new salary schedule puts the FEA’s beginning salary in the top 5 in the state and the ending salary in the top 15 in the state!

Back Pay Back pay from the 2005-06 school year will come in one of two ways. If before September 30th, it will be on a separate check. If on September 30th, it will be right on that check.
