President's Perspective
by Kevin Marshall, President

It's Finally Here!

It’s finally here! It’s hard to believe we're at the end of another school year. I want to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication to the students that we serve. You are fantastic and you truly make a difference every day.

I want to also thank you for taking the time to vote on the newly bargained Master Agreement. A summary of the ratified settlement is available here. Our bargaining team worked extremely hard and sacrificed many hours away from their classrooms and families beginning last summer. I personally thank each of them on behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire membership. They did a fantastic job!

When we look back at the beginning of the year and the state of the economy with all of the predictions of gloom and doom around the budget (furloughs, pay cuts, layoffs, increased class size, etc), words are not enough to thank everyone involved in bargaining for the work they did. However, as we all know, bargaining for next year begins today. Look for a survey soon in which we ask for input on how we are doing.

I also want to thank the many members who contacted legislators and visited the legislature in session to make their voices heard. Against all odds, CEA leaders, lobbyists and members convinced legislators to amend the bill to make several important changes. You can read our commentary here.

Please stay involved and informed. We can’t do it without you. We know that the beginning of next year we will have to hit the ground running. The CSEA Board of Directors will be meeting this summer to prepare to take on the challenges we will face. Please use this summer to relax and enjoy. You have earned it and deserve it.

Thanks again for everything that you do!

See you around the campus!
