 From BEA President Rebecca Haslam

Contract negotiations begin
Our current teachers’ contract will expire next August, 2009.  Our negotiation team members are:  Dan Treinis, Nick Molander, Terri Lessard, Betsy Patrick, Colleen Cowell and Scott Hubbard.  They are interested in your concerns as they prepare for upcoming negotiations.  Feel free to contact any of them or the BEA President by phone or email.

I am looking forward to a successful year of partnerships with our students and their families, our colleagues, our administrators, and our school board commissioners.  We all share the same goal – to provide the best possible education to each and every student in our care.  Collectively and cooperatively, we can achieve this shared vision. 

The work we do is so essential to keeping our community strong and vibrant.  Education is the foundation of every community, and the power of every individual.  The BEA is working hard for you because every student deserves a great public education.  We are here to represent your interests and advocate for you with a strong, collective voice.

I look forward to working with you to continue to raise the standards for our students, our profession, and our community. 

Thank you, and have a wonderful year.  Rebecca Haslam

Safe environment is a priority:
The BEA continues to advocate for safe working environments for all students, staff, and visitors who use our buildings, and we are anticipating the report from this summer’s facilities audit.  We hope to work with School Board Commissioners and administrators to ensure we have 21st century facilities, including safe and adequate indoor air quality, in which to implement 21st century teaching and learning.  The future is now, and it depends on our ability to focus on what matters most – our students.
