The EEC strives for transparency and open communication with our fellow educators.  Survey data and information gathered from our 4 input sessions were used to inform our bargaining priorities and construct these articles.  These articles comprise part of our Collective Bargaining Agreement or CBA. Throughout the negotiation process they can change several times until an official agreement on each article is reached.  

The tracker is what we use to keep track of each and every article that is passed between EEC and AEA.  Green articles have been agreed upon by both EEC and AEA, a blue article means that there is a joint task force between EEC and AEA to constructively work  together,  in this case to create an educator evaluation system, and yellow means we are still actively bargaining that article.

Bargaining Priority Survey 1 Results

In our ongoing effort to maintain transparency and keep all members informed, we are sharing the results of our bargaining priority survey. The survey results were presented during our four input meetings two at the Elementary School and two at the Middle School last spring.

We’re happy to report that a strong majority of eligible credentialed staff participated, with 72 out of 82 staff members completing the survey. In an effort to ensure that all voices are heard, we also sent out a feedback form to gather input on the bargaining platform. If you would like the bargaining team to consider your thoughts on the offical platform, please fill out this form.
