Ryan Grant want to note that MLEA negotiations were kind and friendly. He wanted to say "thank you" to Kim, Rob, Chad and everyone involved for making it such a smooth process.
Ryan appreciated the stipends for extended education. They will encourage all teachers to keep going on learning instead of just reaching a maximum and stopping.
He thanked the District administration for being fiscally responsible so we aren't in the position other districts are when it comes to staffing layoffs.
The MLEA and Ryan greatly appreciate Kim's leadership.
