CHSSA Executive Board Meeting Minutes
March 13, 2013
Beacon Middle School


 Ed welcomed everyone and thanked them for their continued support. All schools had representation but MMS and MES. 

Negotiations:  CHSSA bargaining team will meet on March 21st with the DO.

Election Year:  Ed reminded everyone that all officers’ positions - President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer are open for nominations, and will be vacant if not filled.  Please stress the importance of keeping our local staffed to support our cause.  Pat Bishop has volunteered to be nominating chair and will get the ballots out to all building reps by the April 10th meeting, and then she will come to the May 1st meeting to count the returned ballots. 

Citizens Budget Oversight Committee:  Ed will not be serving on this committee after this year and is asking anyone who would be interested in doing so to contact him for more details.  This committee meets the 4th Thursday of each month.

Treasurers Report:  Mary Beth advised she will be sending out the Scholarship flyers to each building rep for distribution to all members.

Total cash and Bank Accounts $22,692.22.

Board Meeting:  Jeannie Morris advised that February’s meeting was mainly focused on the new expansion plan concerning the Elementary Schools.

Action Group:  Ed advised that J. Cagney France contacted CHSSA to invite any minority staff members to join a new Minority Action Committee.  If interested contact Mr. France at the High School.

For the good of the cause:  Ed advised that he canvassed 18 Para’s asking for their input on next year’s calendar draft.   The majority asked that the in-service para “off” day be sandwiched with the President’s weekend as it was this year - not in March as is being proposed.  He contacted C. Petitgout with the results.

Two members who have worked for the district many years but never received shirts will be given new shirts.

The next meeting is April 10th at MES, 4pm.  The May meeting will be May 1st at Green Turtle at Five Points Plaza at 4pm.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Joan Williamso
