Quotes and Contracts
The committee discussed the recent lease agreement proposal from Gettysburg School District. The proposed lease has been reviewed by attorney Maria Kane from McKenna Snyder and she made suggested edits. Select committee members along with Christine will plan to meet with Maria again soon to discuss the lease before replying to GASD. The most important question seems to be the length of the lease that VIDA would prefer. The current offering from GASD is a 5-year lease.
Christine shared with the committee details about the reply that she received from the CBA with regard to the MOU from the board authorizing $500 bonuses to returning teachers and staff. The CBA wanted the bonus to go to all teachers and staff during the 20-21 school year, not just those returning for 21-22. The committee believes that the school should stay the course, as voted by the board at the previous meeting, and pay the bonus only to returning teachers. Christine plans to respond to the CBA along these lines, and with appropriate reasoning.
