Last night the negotaition team and the e board of the union met to hear the latest. A few on the E board were disappointed that the pay for AP science teachers for weekend workshops for their students did not get included. I think that we will accmplish this through an MOU. An MOU is a memo of understanding. This is a short cut method where items that should have been done at the table can be accomplished without the entire team. This is as scary are as it sounds. It is often done for minor modifications on the contract that don't involve money and are permissive bargining areas to begin with. It can also be used as a temporary method to provide for a small subsection of the contract for a small subgroup of teachers. The MOU is usually only good for one year.
In the middle of my presentation of the provisions of the contract, the phone rang, and Heather said that she was on her way. Anthony brought her down to Modesto, and I picked her up with Tyrone, her 14 pound cat. She is here to help us with some of the piles we have at the house.. also she needs a new phone.
Glad to see that Acacia is medically ok. She is back at UCD.
Hope you have a great Saturday.. Pat

MOU's can mollify a particularly vocal group, but they generally don't "get" that it's for only one year. That happened with the speechies in Albany and their method of counting caseload.
