I continue to maintain my stance that I will not sign the Memorandum of Understanding, nor a letter of intent. The MEA leaders continue to bargain with the state's leaders regarding the RTTT legislation and promise new details on Monday.
In the meantime, Walled Lake's Board of Education voted not to sign the Memorandum of Understanding at their Special Board Meeting last night. Schools boards in Brighton, Hartland, and South Lyon took similar action in the last 24 hours.

About Me
- Tfitzjake
- I wrote this introduction 6 years ago, and it is even more important today than ever. The voices of educational employees need to be heard above the roar of public school attacks in this country. We are on the front line; we are highly educated and trained professionals. Why are we being ignored? I am an educator. I was the president of the Walled Lake Education Association for over 6 years, and before that, the treasurer for 8 years. I have been on the bargaining team for 15 years. I am now the MEA UniServ Director for 7K and parts of IJ. I want our voice to be heard! Today's educational climate requires that we all stay informed regarding the issues affecting our chosen profession!
