Over the past few weeks, I have had a lot of conversations with teachers and community members about the tentative agreement BVSD has negotiated with BVEA (Boulder Valley Education Association). These conversations have been productive and I would like to have more of them.

 

In order to talk with (and listen to) as many people as possible, I will host at least three public meetings to explain the tentative agreement and our rationale behind it:

My goal is to use only about 20 minutes of the beginning of each of these 90-minute meetings for presentation with at least 70 minutes devoted to questions and answers and as informal a discussion as possible.

 

I hope all teachers, parents, staff, and other community members who are interested will attend at least one of these meetings. If more meetings appear to be needed prior to the time when teachers will vote on the agreement (August 17 and 18), I will see that they are scheduled.

 

As always, please feel free to email me with your questions and ideas.
