We are grateful for their help. Anyone can see why our CEA-R members claim that they are busier than ever. And we must tell you that we did not have enough space to mention all of their activities in this brief article. The new master agreement dictates significant improvement in severance pay for retirees. To take advantage of the improvements, a member must give notice to Personnel by Mar. 1.
Early notice helps everyone.
The retiree gets more money, the school district has time to plan and jobs are posted for transfer opportunities. The chart below shows members how to calculate their severance pay. We have used a real teacher as an example. Follow the chart to see why this person has already given notice. The CEA office has received a number of telephone calls concerning the old retirement bonus.
