Welcome Back
Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year. I hope you summer was a restful one. Now it is time to focus and energize on the task at hand: the education of the 22,000 students that will be coming through the school doors, Aug. 13.
I am excited to begin my first year representing as your RNEA president. The Executive Board and I have already met to define our direction for the year.
Since primary purpose of the RNEA is to serve you the member, The board and I have developed a comprehensive plan allowing us to enhance communication with our membership while building relationships between members, building level administration and District leadership.
Your membership entitles you to voice and value.
Voice. On a myriad of levels, RNEA gives you a voice so that your thoughts and concerns are heard by decision makers, be it at the building level through association representatives, at the committee level with RNEA representation or at the board level with routine meetings between board leadership and RNEA leadership.
Value. Your dues provide far more than liability insurance and store discounts. When you are one of more than 1,200 RNEA members, you are part of a powerful presence in the District that shapes policy and practice, ensuring that you are heard.
I am certain the coming school year will provide us with great successes and sometimes challenges. I look forward to working with you through all of these.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Dotta, President
On behalf of the RNEA Executive Board

Bargaining Update--Part 2
As noted above, the RNEA created the first legally binding contract in Missouri under the May 2007 Missouri Supreme Court Decision that gave collective bargaining rights back to public employees in Missouri. See the link below to see how all of the great work in the most recent bargain is threatened by legislators in Jefferson City if they were to pass the MSTA supported bill described in the link below.
