We are happy to have her as our Head Building Rep! As HBR, she handles all building correspondence and supports the building reps. She also assists with PRIDE events and MTEA elections.
Each rep will hold a monthly 10-minute meeting to share important issues discussed at Rep Council. This is an important communication for our union. Be sure to attend your meetings!
YOUR REPS:
Maria Gelinas (HBR), Sharon Baller, Kia Santoro, Holly Sorensen, Colleen Kester, Heather Geniton, Julia Santoro & Monica Clewell
WE ALWAYS NEED REPS! SEE ANNA IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!
GRIEVANCE - Your grievance reps, Julia Santoro and Stephanie Shaffer Obe, are here for you when you have questions about something you are asked to do that may go beyond what is in our contract.
Some examples are:
• You are asked to attend an event outside of school hours without pay
• You are asked to attend a meeting on your lunch period
• You lose your prep due to a change in schedule
If an administrator asks you to do something, you should do it so that you are not being insubordinate. However, you do need to contact Laurie to make sure this isn't something that violates contract language.
