Our bargaining team met all day this past Saturday (Jan. 7th) to prepare for negotiations – Thanks to Barb Kreher and Riverbend staff for providing lunch, snacks and coffee!

The team is meeting again at 5:00pm, this Wednesday (Jan. 11th), at the NEA office (downtown) before they meet with the district. They have really appreciated the food and snacks. Is anyone willing to provide dinner for them this coming Wednesday? Please email Allie Smith at: allison_smith@jsd.k12.ak.us.
