Negotiations Team & Supt in the Same Room...

... at the same time!!!

Following authorization from the SPTA-RA, members of the Negotiation Team met with members of the South Portland School Department administration on Thursday, February 19, 2009 to discuss the current SPSD budget. Representing the SPTA were President Tom Major, Chief Negotiator Jessica Kaplan, and Team Members Sandy Barry and Doug Caldwell. Representing SPSD were Superintendent Suzanne Godin, Deputy Supt Steve Bailey, and Business Manager Polly Ward. No decisions were reached, but I (for one) have a clearer picture of the status and likely evolution of the budget.

The schedule for the school department's budget workshops is below. All meetings are at 7:00 PM at Memorial.
