APPR: We are aware that formal observations are taking a long to be returned, and have expressed this issue to MaryAnn.

Mr. Bodziak made a comment at the BOE meeting that the FCTA has options in hand that would prevent the loss of jobs.

The response from Mark Sreniawski and Wendy Rayburg, APPR Negotiators was that this is a result of APPR negotiations and was meant to secure the exam scoring for members of the FCTA and certified subject area teachers. The district had expressed an idea to “send them out” or “bring others in” and the language was written to prevent that. It will be addressed at the renegotiation of the APPR.

2. Members of the Executive Committee met with a recent retiree to put together an information guidance packet for members in the future.

3. NYSUT Winter Conference Recap and Town Hall Meeting – There were no real answers from NYSUT regarding the majority of our local APPR concerns. It is advised that individuals maintain accurate records and keep notes, so if a TIP is pursued the fight can be that “the system is flawed based on…”

4. Burden of proof for Domain 1 and 4 falls on the individual. If we have a problem at the end of the year, it would be easier to look back on our own notes rather than try to reconstruct from memory.

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by President Renee Kumiega at

4:00 on Wednesday December 5, 2012 in the Big Tree Elementary Auditorium.

President Renee Kumiega initiated the APPR Committee Report and the

Local 20 portion of the APPR Proposal was presented.

Members were made aware that the State had denied the Local 20 portion of our APPR

Proposal, due the fact that it was not tied to particular assessments. Ed Law 3012.c

requires measurement of either student achievement or growth. This portion of our

proposal was not in agreement with the law, and needed to be changed. The APPR

Committee reconvened and determined that the most beneficial model for teachers

would be a Mean Performance Index. This procedure will result in a building-wide score

for all teachers based on the average of the State Calculated Performance Index for

certain assessments.

MOTION TO ADJOURN: Frank Rice, Seconded by Cathy McGuire.

ADJOURNMENT: at 4:51.
