    Thank you to all who completed survey-forms distributed by your building representatives. The Negotiations Team needs your input and your support as this is going to be a difficult contract! Your Negotiations Team has been meeting, and they worked hard to put the survey-forms together, so please submit them to your reps. If you still have suggestions after going through your contract, please send them to Mary Karriem at Lincoln Avenue School or you may place them in our OEA Office slot at 27 Lincoln Avenue. Follow our "Negotiations Updates" tab for information. Have a good winter!
