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.
Calendar - There is a
copy attached to the minutes and will be posted on our web site. www.capehenlopenssa.org. Changes made to the calendar are: August 26th First Para Work Day,
Last work day June 16th.
Winter break has been extended, it will begin on December 23rd
and we will not return to work until Monday January 6th. Para’s will have a four day weekend in
February, 14th thru the 17th.

Fulton presented a plan to address the racial and socio economic differences in
