Both the question of the journeyman contract and the question of raising top administrator’s salaries are on the agenda for tonight’s (Dec. 14) board meeting, 7 p.m. at the Ann Arbor District Library. According to the board packet, the administration is sticking to its idea of contracting with DM Burr, and there are pages and pages of justification in the board packet: [link]

In addition, there is a resolution to raise top administrative members salaries. Percentage wise, the amounts are a 6-12% increase, and dollar wise they add up to around $30,000. But symbolically, I think they are a huge problem.

You can tell the Board of Education what you think about either or both of these issues by emailing: boe@aaps.k12.mi.us

If the Ann Arbor Board decides to start using non-Union, non-local companies, then bring it on. They are going down a dangerous road and inviting major public opposition to any future millage increase and renewals of existing mills and individuals who buy into this nonsense can expect to kiss their Board seats goodbye. Trust me-this vote is going to be watched very carefully.
