After all your packing, grading, purging and planning,
SUMMER is finally here!
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all, our
MREA members, for all your support and involvement with our
association this past year. As you might know, I have
stepped down as President as of the end of June. It has
been a privilege and a pleasure to lead us into our next
chapter...as a coordinated, combined organization. Joan
Dillon has stepped up to serve us and has been at the helm
since July first as I head to the beach. I know this past
year has had its challenges and you know your MREA
Executive Committee has worked and will continue to work
hard on your behalf. Here are some highlights:
1) Units A and C have ratified their contracts for the
2014-15 school year.
2) Unit B is still in negotiations but we appear to have
reached a tentative agreement- more information will follow
in the coming days regarding ratification.
3) Building Rep. elections will take place in early
September.
4) New negotiations teams will be formed in the Fall to
start the negotiations process for full contract reviews of
all units.
5) MREA Executive Committee members will be attending the
annual MTA conference in August and will take part in a
variety of seminars geared at helping us become a more
educated and stronger group of leaders.
I wish you all a relaxing and restful summer and will look
forward to seeing you all in September.
Cordially,
Stephanie Rae
