Are your voice in collaborative decisions made with ● the administrative team. Set up meetings and opportunities for members to ● engage with legislators. Negotiate and enforce the contract. ● Set up fundraisers and events to connect you with ● other people in the district and to give back to our schools.

Building reps Building Reps can help you… Overcome obstacles, problem solve, or get you in touch ● with people who help. Understand the evaluation process and observation ● cycles. Be heard in meetings where you feel uncomfortable. ●

Communicating important information about laws and ● policies that affect education. Providing professional development both in person and ● online.

Building meetings Meetings are after school on the second Monday of every ● month. (Note: It is on Tuesday if there is no school on the second Monday.) You will receive updates about what is going on in the ● district and state, and building reps ask for feedback which guides our work. Please attend! ●

negotiations Toward the end of this academic year, building reps will ● be gathering feedback that our team will bring into negotiations next year. If you are interested in being a part of the negotiation ● team, please contact John Langelund. We would like to start meeting this year.
