For all part-time employees, the LEA position paper regarding part-time employees and their participation in professional development days prompted the settlement of the 2005 grievance that resulted in the following Memorandum of Understanding.

For members who are choosing to retire at the end of the 2005-06 school year, we have included a sample letter that our members may use to request participation in the Option 1 Early Retirement Incentive. Remember that members who retiree before June 30, 2005 will receive up to seven (7) years* of District-Paid health benefits (equivalent to what active members receive, ie: current cap of $10,000).
