Dribs and Drabs from the Board of Education Meetings March & April

I must admit that I did not attend either of these meetings and therefore am getting my notes secondhand. That being said, you can get a full review of the meeting minutes on the district website. For purposes of this article, I am only writing about what directly relates to our union.

At the March meeting, the board recognized that three new AFT members had been hired. We welcome Robert Gentile and Eve O'Connor as instructional assistants at the High School and Loyda Diaz as the high school's new custodian.

There was discussion of combining the last two half days to a full day. This would make the last day of school June 21st. At the April board meeting, Mr. Nevaiser stated that this was not supported by the administration.

RETA is hosting the end of the year party at the Old Lyme Country Club on May 23rd. This party is usually a lot of fun! Mark your calendars and join everyone if you can!

February Board of Education Meeting Notes

At the February Board of Education meeting, several positions both certified and non-certified have been elimated and added. For a full briefing, go to our district web site to read the full minutes from the meeting. For my purposes, here's my take on what effects the non-certified staff.

Four non-certified positions have been eliminated as approved by Board action. These include two tutorial positions, the in school suspension and the greeter position. The in-school suspension supervisor will now be replaced by substitutes as needed and the greeter position will be absorbed by the secretarial staff at the high school.

Two new certified SRBI teaching positions at locations to be determined. These positions will be both math and language arts.

The district will add an additional position of an athletic director secretarial position. This position will be an 8 hour/day but will NOT be year round.
