A Message from our President - Julie McCarty
Dear WETA Members,
First, I want to thank each and every one of you that participated
and conducted one-on-one interviews with colleagues over the
past few weeks. We received a great deal of detailed information
that we didn’t necessarily have the time to compile at our site
lunch visits.
We want to inform you of the next steps for this campaign...we will
disaggregate the data and then begin comprising our TR (Trusted
and Respected) Teams. A WETA Executive Board member will
meet with each site team to discuss the issues and then clarify
any questions that may arise.
Next, the TR Team will set a date to meet with the District to discuss site issues, collaborate and agree on protocols. The ultimate goal is for members to resolve as many issues as possible at the site level. We want all of our members to have a voice and feel empowered to create the change they want to see
at their school site.
We will continue to represent members at the District level when it is not able to be resolved at the site.
Other news:
We have an MOU for summer school pay and a timeline for assignments (2022-2023 school year).
Summer School Hourly Pay Rate $65 for 2022-2023 summer school-this is a $20 increase for this year only.
We moved the timeline up for assignments this year which should create the domino effect of hiring back earlier.
Please refer to the Bargaining Update for more specifics.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Julie McCarty
WETA President
