Where did the year go?

It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of another school year.  Amy and I thank everyone who has helped us to do our jobs.  We could not have done this without the help of the OALS's, the officers and the building reps. 

It has been a long year. We saw the first African American elected president.  We saw the stock market drop to levels that we haven't seen in many years.  We have all watched as the economy has become a concern for all of us. We can only hope that we have reached the bottom and we will begin to see better days.

As a union, we solved some problems, but have some left to solve.  We made a compromise on the 403B's.  We participated in the superintendent interviews and we anxiously await the school board's decision in this matter. 

We are all lookling forward to a summer vacation.  We all need that time to wind down and mentally regroup for another year.   I want you to know that if you have questions over the summer, you may call or email either Amy or myself.  I wish everyone a good summer vacation.
