GREECE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Don Pallozzi, President

Mr. Oberg,

Greece Teachers have contacted you with questions and concerns about the proposed budget cuts. Often the writers of the letters copy in the GTA office so that we may read their letters and your responses. I thank you for taking the time to respond. However in each of your responses I see that you have consistently left out a most important truth. In the beginning of this school year after nearly six years of negotiations, Greece Teachers ratified and presented to the BOE a successor agreement in which we guaranteed concessions in health care and other benefits. This agreement, voted down by the BOE, would have saved the district close to $400,000 a year.

The Executive Council of GTA extended each BOE member an invitation to meet with us and explain the 7-1 no vote that defeated our new agreement. Only two BOE members even acknowledged the invitation. As you know we never did meet and we still do not know why the BOE voted as it did. Greece Teachers alone cannot carry on our backs the mistakes of previous BOE and the poor economy. We offered you concessions sir, and you said no. In further correspondences it would be heartening to us to see you and other BOE members acknowledge what we tried to do to save the GCSD District money now and in the future.

Sincerely,
Margaret Mourey
Executive Vice President
