contract ratification by school board

Dear Colleagues,

This evening at the School Board meeting the Board in open session voted 5-0 to ratify the contract with the Vista Teachers Association.  It is through the efforts of all our members that we were able to come to this contract ratification.  Our hard work, organizing efforts and our ability to show our commitment to a fair and reasonable contract allowed us to negotiate what the Executive Board and bargaining team feel is a strong contract.  

The language we were able to get for protections for our members is unprecedented and the impact will be beneficial for years to come.  I want to thank the bargaining team, crisis team and the EBoard for their hard work.  It truly is a collaborative endeavor.  

May your last seven days in school be peaceful and may you enjoy your summer vacation with family and friends.
