Dear AREA Members,
This Tuesday, April 26, is a minimum day in order to hold an AREA General Meeting to provide a bargaining update. The meeting will take place from 2:00 to 3:00 pm on Zoom. Your attendance is mandatory.
AREA notified the District 5 weeks ago of our intent to hold this meeting. In the meantime, we were assured that the parents had been notified of the change in schedule. However, as it turns out, the District mistakenly told the parents the minimum day was to be tomorrow (Monday, April 25) instead of Tuesday. We notified the District as soon as we were made aware of it. We have been told that the parents would be notified of the correction. It's probably a good idea, though, if you reach out to your parents to let them know that the minimum day is Tuesday, NOT Monday.
Due to the varying starting/ending times of our sites, it is necessary to begin our meeting promptly at 2:00 p.m. Our planned agenda will end at 3:00 p.m. This is not a "drop-in" session. It is necessary for you to remain on the meeting for the full hour, not only to respect our use of the AREA minimum day, but to hear all of the information presented.
*****When you sign on to the meeting, please rename yourself to include your first and last name, along with your school site. This is how we will be accountable for attendance to the District.*****
The "chat" feature will be enabled only to ask questions directly to the hosts/cohosts. It will not be enabled for dialogue between members. We want the attention to be focused on the information presented and appreciate your efforts to do so.
