As you are probably aware, contracts have been sent to all licensed Lewis Central staff members. These contracts reflect the decision from the Interest Based Arbitration hearing.There is a mistake in the contract in how "number of days" is listed. The contract now reads that there are 192 contract days with 192 of these days being teaching days. This is not correct. The contract should read 192 days with 180 teaching days.
YOU SHOULD CORRECT THIS AND INITIAL THE CORRECTION ON YOUR CONTRACT.
Also, you will note that we received a mailing from Mr. Hill informing us that our checks are being issued to us early. This is to avoid paying the new "additional" IPERS contribution fees. We have a call into the ISEA Regional Office in Red Oak (a.k.a. SWUU) who is checking into this on our behalf. Although we are reasonably certain that this will have no impact on our IPERS contributions, we want to make sure that we are not adversely impacting anyone's IPERS contributions. Look for an addition to this blog post on 6/27 with clarification.
