Fitchburg Education Association

Breaking News!

EMERGENCY!!!

There is an opening on the School Committee due to the resignation of Michael Budney. Please think about family, friends, retirees and neighbors that may be interested in serving. This is an enormous opportunity for us to get a "friend to education" on the committee.

PROCESS:

When there is a resignation, a candidate submits a resume to the City Clerk and then speaks to a joint meeting of the City Council and the School Committee. A vote is taken that night, and the new member is appointed. Resumes should be submitted ASAP (I was not able to get a due date from city hall). The Joint Meeting will be June 5th at 7:00pm in the Council Chambers. We can help someone through the process, and promote candidates. Do not hesitate to be in touch with questions.

To enable Association members to speak with a common voice on matters pertaining to the teaching profession, and those matters pertaining to the education support professionals, and to present their individual and common interests before the School Committee and other legal authorities.
