At the request of the Lapeer Community Schools Board of Education, the AFSCME Unit, which represents the District’s 35 custodial and maintenance employees, reopened their current Master Agreement and agreed to wage concessions that will save the District $31,000 this school year.
The revised agreement was ratified by the union on December 22 and approved by the Board of Education at a meeting Thursday, January 7.
The Unit agreed to a two percent wage reduction applied retroactive to July 1, 2009. The agreement also extends the current contract through June 30, 2011. The contract was set to expire this June.
A formula in the contract addresses any potential wage adjustments for the next school year, but most likely will result in a pay freeze due to Michigan’s current economic climate.
“Once again, one of our bargaining units has stepped up and made a sacrifice during these difficult economic times,” said Superintendent Debbie Thompson. “The AFSCME Unit had a choice whether or not to reopen the contract, but did so to help the District and the children serves. This is another positive step in helping us address this year’s tough budget.”

Zemmer teachers visit Rolland-Warner, custodians work together to clean new school
Although there is a lot of work yet to be done, much of the interior and exterior construction work at Rolland-Warner Middle School is complete.
A small group of teachers stopped over Wednesday morning, July 29th, to organize their classrooms and prepare for fall classes.
Posing in their hardhats they are (left to right) Christine Newton, Lisa Bjork, Michelle Milk-Mlecsko, and Linda Shamaly. To see larger photos click on the pictures.
A team of custodians is working hard to clean up after 14 months of construction work at the new facility. They stopped briefly for a photo. They are (left to right) Alex Ancona, John Wilson, Dennis King, Tim Tovar, Janeen Hornung, Pete Haggadone, Greg Koski, Dave Peasley, Gary Tripp, and Ernie Saltzman. Camera shy, or missing from the team photo were: Willie Behm, Joe Palazzolo and Pat Hutton.
While at the campus we shot a photo of the new gymnasium that is shined to a high gloss and just waiting for those first students to arrive.
