 SURPLUSING 

Don’t Panic!  If you have not received your letter with your date and time to come in for surplussing, it’s because the district mailed them last Friday, May 25.  The district is calling those teachers who are going to surplussing this week with the assumption everyone will receive their letters by the end of this week.  If you haven’t received a call or a letter we have the list so please call SCTA if you need clarification. 

RETIREE BENEFITS LETTER 

Many of you have received the lifetime benefits status request form by mail.  We knew there would probably be some questions about this complicated matter, and there were.  This is the opportunity to clarify with the district whether you meet the  requirements under the old rules, or if you fall under the new classifications.  For those of you who have 10 years AND are at least 55 years old qualify under the old rules-and please note; you do not have to retire by July 1, 2013, you merely need to meet the qualifications.

 SCTA RETIREE PICNIC 

This Friday is the End of the Year/Retiree Picnic.  Everyone is welcome! The more the merrier!  Plenty of food, plenty of sunshine, and plenty of great friends and family all munching down on burgers, hot dogs, “snausages,” fruit, chips, dessert and other stuff.   Everything starts at 3:00 pm and ends at 6.  See you there!
