Strategic Planning Committee
Dr. Covington has asked the Union for the names of 150 members to serve on the 500 people Strategic Planning Committee. I don't have the details, yet, but I do want to start collecting the names of people who are interested in participating.  It is a volunteer position - no stipend. But, I do think it is critical that we are strongly represented on this committee. Email me back or call the Union office at 756-1818.
 
Safe School Campaign

The District has agreed to give the student surveys. The staff surveys will be tallied this week. The next meeting of the Safe Schools committee will be December 1 at 5:00 p.m. at the Union office. All interested persons are invited.
