CHSSA Executive Committee Minutes


CHHSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES
DECEMBER 7, 2011
CAPE HENLOPEN LIBRARY, 4PM


Ed thanked everyone for their attendance and support.  Those able to attend were,
Ed, Lisa Thorp, Mary Beth D’Amico, Joan Williamson, Peggy Kirby, Roger Boyd,
Ella Betts, and Tim Eitner. 

Treasurers Report – Total Assets = $21,601.97 – Dinner this year which Ed congratulated everyone on cost us $1,461.59.


New Member Shirts – Mary Beth has bids from four vendors who will embroider polo shirts for our members.  Samples were passed around and all agreed on a short sleeve and a long sleeve shirt.  Both shirts will be available in both blue and yellow/gold colors.  It was also voted and agreed upon that for the first year we will offer to pay $10.00 of the cost for any member who would like to purchase the shirt.  New members will receive one shirt free.  The shirts will hopefully be ready in a few months.

Membership Rosters – Joan reminded all that the membership rosters needed to be returned to Lisa by December 12th.  Lisa advised that CHHS, BMS, MES, and HOB had returned theirs already.

Negotiations Survey – Joan passed out surveys to all building reps present.  All are to Xerox copies for all their members and have them fill out and return to Ed by December 19th at HOB.

Negotiations Committee – Ed advised that the committee is still seeking a secretary, but has representation from the following job categories; Instructional Para, Job Coach, Technical Support, Cota, and Custodians. 

Vacation Policy – Ed and Joe both advised that we not accept the District offer to change the Board Policy #537 at this time, but rather to wait until it can be discussed during negotiations.  All agreed.  Joe will draft a letter to Dr. Carson expressing our wishes.

Building Reps Duties:  Ed and Joan explained that the SEC has been without a building rep for several months while the previous building rep is out on sick leave.  According to the by-laws, the Executive Committee can appoint a new

-         2 -
building rep if a rep is absent or not able to fulfill duties.  We will be soliciting for a new SEC representative.  In the interim, Deb Priddy will inform SEC on info they need.

The good of the cause – Mary Beth also advised that the by-laws state that each building will have just one representative.  Perhaps since in the CHHS we exceed that, we need to look into amending our by-laws.

Peggy Kirby advised that Tim Eitner has been voted as Custodial representative for the High School.

Meeting was adjourned at 5:30.  Minutes respectfully submitted by Joan Williamson.  Next meeting is January 4th at Grotto’s Grand Slam at 4pm.
