CHSSA Minutes - June 12, 2013



CHSSA Executive Board Minutes
June 12, 2013 4pm
Grotto’s

Ed welcomed everyone present, and thanked all for their support of him over the last years, he has enjoyed working with all.  Those present were Kathy Law, Susan Krause, Sharon Sherwood, Tim Eitner, Joe Kirk, Donna Schirmer, Joan Williamson, Mary Beth D’Amico, Ed Murauskus.

Negotiations - We have been bargaining for 15 months.  The Teachers union is near to ratifying their contract, but CHSSA is not.  There are 3 issues that are separating us from agreement.  The three issues in contention are;

 1.  D.O. wants a 4 year contract, CHSSA is asking for a 3year contract.  CHSSA has determined it was not to our benefit to bargain at the same time as the teachers and if we agree to a 4 year contract we will be back at the table the same time as they are,
2.  DO does not want to give 12 month employees spring break, CHSSA is asking for it,
3. D.O. is unwilling to upgrade the Senior Secretaries in each building to financial secretary which is what we are asking for. It is uncertain when the two groups will be meeting again.

Ed welcomed and thanked everyone present for their support and attendance, and expressed his wish that everyone will continue to support the new board.  Those able to attend were; Ed, Lisa Thorp, Lisa Ingram, Joan Williamson, Mary Beth D’Amico, Pat Bishop, Joe Kirk, Tim Eitner, Tarra Kennedy, Donna Schirmer, Molly Siple, Janet Graviet, Jeannie Morris, and Debbie Gaudlip.   All schools had representation!

Negotiations - CHSSA will meet again with the District Office on May 6th.  So far the DO is offering increase in pay of 1%, 1%, and 2% - with a 3 year contract.  The DO has explained that these increase amounts must be adhered to so that we can keep our benefits intact. Winter break will still be discussed, especially since the DO extended it.  Our contract expired June 30th, 2012.  A new contract will be retroactive to that date.
