Committee Reports:

  2. Grievance: Nothing new at this time.
  3. Social:
    1. There are still tickets available for Thoroughly Modern Millie. Contact Linda Fowler.
    2. The Retirement Dinner was a success. It was a nice time.

Old Business:

None.

New Business:

  1. A waiver was signed for the Support Staff to be notified by the next Board meeting on June 23rd as to who will be rehired. Anyone who is not rehired, will be paid until July 7th. (They must be given 2 weeks notice.)
  2. A motion was made to give Carol Mertz and Mike Kruczek $100.00 each for the N.E.A. convention. The motion passed. There are several good causes, and information that they need to sign up for.
  3. Lawmakers are trying to push for a Constitutional Convention in New Jersey. NJEA is not for this. Some of the items that could be affected are tenure and medical benefits after 25 years of service. If this comes to a vote, please vote against having one.
  4. Motion to approve the submitted budget for September1, 2003-August 31, 2004 was passed.

    Workshop at Flynn's on October 7th will be opened to all staff. The main topic will be on school law. More information will be forthcoming.

Building concerns:

  1. Security guards are not eligible for comp time concerning the December 5th snow day. Their contract is for them to be present when the students are here.
  2. Andover and Barber were the only schools officially told to pack up their rooms to our knowledge.
  3. Paid for moving? This is still not settled.
  4. If you feel you are being harassed at work, you can fill out a "hostile work environment" form.

    If you are taking an emergency day, you have to cross out family illness, and put emergency.

Next meeting September 6, 2003

Respectfully submitted,

Marilyn Shober
