    2012-13 TUSD Calendar News!!!

    You may have heard by now that the TUSD Governing Board approved the 2012-13 School Calendar with the fall and spring 

    break.  The Board members who spoke based their decision on the results of the survey, input they received personally from 

    employees or community and that the school communities within the southern area also operate on this type of calendar.  The 

    calendar was approved without a schedule for the Wednesday PD which requires further negotiations with TEA if there are any 

    considerations with our agreements.   We know that some of our members have concerns due to the new calendar start and 

    employee payment schedule.  We will be working with the district to address these concerns and to assist employees prior to the 

    start of next year.  Please let me know your concerns and any ideas that you may have on how to address these issues.  Help us 

    prepare!  We will keep you updated and plan on discussing at our next TEA Board and AR meetings.      

 

    TEA 's Special Elections are coming soon. Voting to begin Friday, February 3rd and end Wednesday,
