Please post in this thread what action you would like to see your executive board take next on this subject. Your voice matters. Only by working together can we find a common solution to this situation. Sincerely, Patrick Velliquette BHEA Secretary

Greetings BHEA member, This is the first of several opportunities to provide additional prep time for BHEA members.  While we cannot address a single, one-size-fits-all prep time solution, this is only a starting point. Other communities may advocate for their own custom requests for additional prep time to the district in the future. Voting YES on this MOA means that you support the staff identified in the MOA to receive one additional grading day per quarter.  Traditionally, these members have used personal or sick days to complete this grading.  Voting YES will not take anything away from you.  Voting NO means that you do NOT support certain members receiving additional prep time. A likely consequence is that the district will be reluctant to consider future proposals for additional prep time.  Please feel free to correspond with executive leaders using the voting tool if you have questions or concerns.   To vote YES or NO on the proposed MOA, please look for an email from OREGON EDUCATION ASSOCIATION (OEA) in your PERSONAL EMAIL.  It will say "VOTE".   If you do not receive an email, please ensure your personal email address is correct by emailing bheasecretary@gmail.com More information can be found on our NEW WEBSITE by typing the URL: bhea.info.   In solidarity, andy
