Negotiations Committee
M_French
Principals need to be aware of current and emerging issues that affect both contracts and a principal's work to support staff members, engage the community, and ensure student success. This committee helps principals prepare, research, and gather data i norder to enter the negotiations process confidently and competently. One of our annual projects is the MESPA Salary and Benefit survey. For negotiations support, contact this committee or visit the Negotiations Guidance Center in the Members Only section of the MESPA Web site.
