GEA received from the District a new compensation and benefit proposal on February 2, 2010.

This proposal reveals:

1. The district has prioritized maintaining reserves and programs rather protecting teachers, counselors, school psychologists, librarians and speech pathologists from the impact of State budget cuts.
   
   
2. The district should - and must be pressured to - set different budget priorities to protect employees.

GEA will continue to bargain with the District, with the goal of reaching a FAIR and REASONABLE contract settlement.
