Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The one year “anniversary” of the start of negotiations has arrived. I hate to think of how many trees we’ve used up, with our multiple drafts of proposals, counter proposals, tentative-tentative agreements and volumes of minutes.

In Alabama a bus driver was killed and a boy was taken hostage off the bus. The bus drivers are the first line of protection for the students.
I would like to thank the bus drivers. They go to work early whether it's freezing or it's hot, they have to watch for the students at every stop.
