May 21, 2008 Update Negotiations Update
The members of the GFT Negotiations Team attended the BOE meeting on May 19th. At the meeting, the Board President, Mr. Wich, advised us that the contract would not be voted upon due to the fact that all members of the Board were not yet apprised of the entire memorandum of agreement. The Board's negotiator, Bill Hybbanneth, was there to apprise them of the agreement in closed session. Mr. Wich also informed us that the Board would hold a special meeting next week for the purpose of voting on the contract. We have since been informed that the Board will hold a meeting on June 2, 2008. The settlement is under the jurisdiction of PERC mediator, Lorraine Tesauro. The GFT has called Ms. Tesauro to alert her to the delay in ratification on the part of the BOE and to let her know that we are concerned with the Board's commitment to ratify the contract. The GFT has negotiated in good faith with the Garfield Board of Education. We will soon know if the Board of Education and their designees have negotiated in good faith with the GFT. 4Click To See This Memo In Its Entirety
