The Lower Merion Education Association is the local union for Lower Merion School District employees. One of only a very few “merged locals,” the LMEA consists of more than 1400 members in both professional and support staff. We are proud to serve our members through our many representative committees and through advocacy and support in working with, and for, the LMSD Board; and to serve the LM community through local partnerships fostered by our members through Outreach.
LMEA Spotlight
Dear LMEA Members,
I write to you today with some good news. After months of negotiations with the Board, we are pleased to offer a Tentative Agreement for your review and ratification. Our Combined Negotiations Committee has worked very hard these last few months, and we look forward to presenting the results of that effort at a Special General Membership meeting in the Harriton High School auditorium on July 10. To accommodate members with different work schedules we will hold one meeting at 3 pm, with another at 5 pm.
At the meeting, we will provide printed copies of all the changes to our contract proposed in the Tentative Agreement, and we will take a few moments to put those changes into context and answer any clarifying questions members may have. You will be permitted to keep your printed copies, but you will not be able to take extra copies.
The ratification vote will take place Tuesday, July 16 in the auditorium at Harriton High School. Voting will be open from 8am to 5pm. We will have printed copies available at the ratification site.
I’m aware summer meetings are more difficult for many of you to attend. After careful consideration and discussion with my leadership team, I’ve determined the best course is to ratify this TA as soon as possible; the implications of delay until fall would be to the detriment of some of our members, particularly those who work during the summer—both professional and support.
Per LMEA Bylaws, both the General Membership meeting and the ratification vote will take place IN PERSON only (NO ZOOM option), and members will NOT be permitted to take extra printed copies.
In solidarity,
Aimee
