Q How are negotiations items selected for new contracts?    

A   Surveys from members are reviewed and prioritized based on the scope and nature of the requests by the Negotiations Planning Committee. Language proposals are written and the tentative language is the result of the bargaining process of give, take and compromise as decided by the three voting members of the Negotiating Team.  Association members approve the final reslults through ratification of a tentative agreement.  Ideas may also be sent to the attention of the NPC at the PEA Office by school mail or by email to npc@peaoffice.org.

 Q   How can I send sensitive information to the PEA by e-mail from my home account?

A   E-Mail addressed to president@peaoffice.org is received directly by the PEA President.  For confidentiality purposes you should NOT send sensitive information using your district account as members of the administration have the ability to review the contents of district e-mail and certain e-mails may be available to the general public. It is recommended that you use your home e-mail account for these matters.
