The Association would like to state a special thank you to the members of the CEA Elections Committee. The final 10 percent of certificated employees who still do not have direct deposit of their checks should expect to receive communications from the Treasurer's Office that this feature will soon be effective for all employees. Article 901.13E, which was ratified by the membership in 1992, allows administration to pay all employees in this manner when 75 percent of the bargaining unit members are being paid by direct deposit. Problems that may occur will now be easier to locate and resolutions will be more timely. Support the Levy Time is short.
Recent polls show that the levy is gaining support in the community.
Teachers can help by writing a check to Citizens for Strong Schools. The money will be used to pay for campaign materials and media time needed to push the levy over the top. Although teachers have historically been asked to invest one mil of their annual salary to levy campaigns, any contribution will be accepted. You may use school mail to send your checks to the CEA office. We will forward all contributions to the campaign leaders.
