Budget Update

Dear Members,

I wanted to let you know that you will be receiving an email from the school district regarding the budget and the reduction of the local salary supplement. Please understand that this is due to the 2 furlough days we are already aware of. This is not another salary reduction. The district is required by law to send out a notice to all employees and to hold two hearings regarding this. We are pleased that the proposed budget only contains 2 furlough days. You may want to contact your school board member and remind them that the 2 proposed days are enough, we don't want to see them vote for 5 furlough days. As always, CCAE will be at the board meeting and will keep you up to date on events and the budget. Thank you for being a member!

Connie Jackson
President, CCAE

School Board Members must Substitute in Schools

I love this idea!! A new law in Lousiana would make it mandetory for school board members to substiute teach at least 3 days a year. Let's see if we can get this passed here in Georgia!!
