For the good of the cause:  Ed advised that our retirement pension benefits are distributed as follows:  If you retire at 55years old with 15 years of service there is a penalty clause.  If you retire at 60 with 15 years of service there is no penalty clause.

Absences - If you plan to be out at anytime and know in advance, please submit your Aesop request at least one month in advance.  It appears that many employees have tried to put in for time off on the 18^th of January, an in-service day this month, but also submitted their forms only recently.  The DO has the right within our contract to deny leave if more that 15% of a group is out, i.e., 15% paras, 15% teachers, etc.  

Donated Sick Leave -   If you want to donate sick leave to a specific employee please specify so, otherwise it will go into a general bank.  When you donate days the recipient will receive ½ of what you donate, i.e., for every one of your days the recipient will get a half day.

The next meeting will be at the High School on February 6^th, at 4pm.  Minutes respectfully submitted by Joan Williamson.
