The Money is There
· NSEA/WEA’s projections for the District’s budget are accurate.
· The School Board will be voting at the Tuesday, August 12th meeting on a proposed 08-09 budget that has several million dollars more that is now available than the Board and administration had previously projected.
· There are sufficient funds to address our concerns and get a contract with significant improvements.
· The question is whether the School Board and Superintendent will choose to utilize these funds to address your concerns in these negotiations.

Honor Your Commitment to Be There
At the June membership meeting, we passed a motion that stated, “We commit, collectively and individually, to ‘Be There’ for each other and our Association in August. We will continue to participate in the activities that support our Bargaining Team and Association until we have reached an agreement in these negotiations.”
Now is the time to act on your commitment. Be there on Tuesday, August 12 from 3:45 to 5 PM at the District’s Administrative Center. Your participation is key to a successful outcome in these negotiations.
Invite your co-workers, friends, or family, and have dinner together afterwards! We appreciate your support and involvement.
If you are interested in speaking to the Board, please email me at tbrittell@washingtonea.org.
