APPLECORE, October, 2003

LMEA email Database

Please email Glenn Rosazza at rozz347@yahoo.com using your private email address. The LMEA is creating an email database of its members. An electronic transfer of information will eliminate errors. This database will replace our current one. So please, email this information even if you are currently receiving email communications from the LMEA.
Next summer and thereafter, negotiations updates will be sent via email only. The LMEA will continue to use email to contact you about political events and stealth legislation that may need immediate attention.

General Membership Meeting

There will be a General Membership meeting at 4:00PM on Wednesday, October 15, in the LMHS cafeteria. Voting for delegates to the PSEA House of Delegates will be on the agenda. Please plan to attend.

Alfie Kohn

If you missed Alfie Kohn’s presentation hosted by the LMEA at LMHS last year, you have another opportunity to learn about standardized testing and ESEA. Alfie Kohn will appear at Central Bucks West HS Auditorium on Thursday, November 6 at 7:30PM. Call 1-800-492-2727 to reserve a seat.

LMEA Unit / Officers Meetings

Throughout the year, unit meetings will be held prior to officers meetings at all buildings. November’s meeting will be held Wednesday, November 12 at 3:35 at PennWynne. Meetings for other buildings will be announced monthly in the AppleCore and posted in your building. Unit meetings give you the chance to make suggestions and voice concerns with your LMEA officers.

AESOP

Improving the substitute situation, making reporting of absences easier and more efficient are the reasons the District changed its Central Recorder to AESOP. Are you finding this to be the case? Please send feedback to Arlene Flicker at www.flickea@lmsd.org.
