Contract Action Team—C.A.T.
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the CAT leaders to you: Jay Trachman, Esther Rojas-Jasso, Adam Aguilar, Marlene Hicks and Connor Murphy.
When asked by your Board to assist with the contract they did not hesitate to step up to the plate. For the last month your FASTA Board and the CAT leaders have been working on our proposals for the 2008-2011 contract. We still have a couple more contract proposal meetings before our deadline and the team have cleared their calendars to attend those meetings. This is what is called "going above and beyond the call." That's what substitute teachers do!
Thank you!
