1) Our APPR negotiating team has reached a tentative agreement with the district concerning our new APPR MOA. Please bring a copy of your APPR MOA, we will be specifically referencing page 5. Attached, please find a copy of our APPR agreement, in case you don't readily have a copy available.
2) The District proposed a settlement to one of the grievances we filed this year. We have a tentative agreement regarding that grievance pending a ratification vote.
