It's almost time to welcome everyone back to school for another year!
Wed. August 29th at the High School is the annual Opening Day Celebration hosted by Dr. Entwistle and the Administrators. From 7:45 - 8:30 breakfast will be served and SEA will be there to check in members and give them their annual packet of information. SEA will be arriving around 7:30 to get you all set up so early birds can get checked in before breakfast!
Building representatives and members of the Executive Board will be there to check you in and have you confirm your contact information on the roster. The Membership Chair, JoEllen Clive, will be there to sign up any new members and answer any questions you might have.
Please keep up to date on what SEA is doing at this blog. Emails with communications are also sent to members.
If you have any questions you can ask your building/department representative (their names will be posted in the teachers' rooms in your building) or email seamaine@gmail.com.
Thank you and see you all soon!
Crystal Goodrich, SEA President

Not Another Cent - MEA Pledge Cards
From MEA's informational handout "Not Another Cent". For the full document please go to: http://www.maine.nea.org/notanothercent
In the last 20 years Maine's average teacher salary fell from 31st in the nation to 44th. Pensions and benefits under the Maine Public Employee Retirement System (MePERS - previously known as Maine State Retirement) were cut and frozen. Health Insurance plans provided by MEA's Benefits Trust are threatened by a legislative attack that could increase rates and lower coverage.
MEA is asking members to sign pledge cards in support of retirement benefits, insurance rates and to stop cutting, capping what we have worked so hard for.
The cards will be delivered to the MEA office and then will be delivered by MEA to the State Legislation.
Please make sure they are received by Crystal Goodrich by next Friday: Jan. 20th.
If you do not have a card from your building representative please use the following link, fill out a pledge card and return it to Crystal at Wentworth Intermediate via interoffice mail or to your building rep. They will deliver the cards to me.
Please participate in this simple action to help protect the benefits we work so hard for. It will only take a few minutes of your time and your voice will be heard.
Thank you!
