School Union Meeting 9/4

Welcome back to a new year at Gage Park and welcome to the new members of Gage Park - we are excited to work with you throughout this year. Here's a brief summary of today's minutes:

• This is our new blog - check it frequently and post comments. Please let Mr. Doudican know if you are having problems posting.
• Your classes should not exceed 28 students with the exception of PE, art and music. This should happen immediately - not after 20 days. If you are having problems please speak to a programmer or one of your union delegates immediately. Your CTT classes should have no more than 30% students with special needs - this is also effective immediately.
• Payroll is correct. Over the course of the summer the board has taken 1 day off each pay period so that you will not be shorted at the end of summer - essentially 5 days. You will recieve your final deferred pay on Sept. 11 and then your new pay will start on Sept. 25; this paycheck will include any extra summer deferred pay. If you have any questions please contact Wanda.
• There is an opening on the PPC commitee since the resignation of a previous member. The PPC meets with administration to resolve issues for the staff prior to a grievence. More information on nominations and voting to come.
• Please update your email and addresses with one of us if you moved virtually or physically.
• Our next meeting is Sept. 25 at 7:30 a.m.

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
