The ELT committee members met with Helen Civian and Trina Abbott from Mass 20-20. Helen has worked with a number of schools involved with ELT including the Salemwood. Mr. DeVito asked her to go over the timeline for this initiative. Dates are approximate-

Soon -we should hear back from DOE regarding our ELT plan draft with feedback and suggestions for writing the April proposal.

 Helen will assist us with writing the April proposal. She is also available to help with attaining professional partnerships etc. if needed.

Soon- a bargaining team will meet with Gerry Ruane to begin the union talks.

4/17-22 proposal due to DOE

Helen thinks we may hear a decision from the DOE by the end of May.

Again, there is much work to be done on many fronts before the April proposal is submitted.

Bob Simpson is working to make the blog more accessible.

If you have not had the opportunity-committee members have the draft for you to read.
