Since 1999, Education Austin has assertively represented the interests of all AISD employees before the AISD administration through a process called elected consultation.  Since 1999, AISD has held an election every four years to determine which employee organization will represent the workforce in consultation, and Education Austin has either won decisively or has been unopposed.  Unfortunately,  the district is considering changing the current consultation process.

We need your help NOW and on Wednesday, April 18, to tell the district to continue elected consultation.

·       Please send an e-mail message from www.austinisd.org/consultation-policy-feedback to AISD as soon as possible, but no later than this Friday, April 13, at 5 PM, insisting that the current consultation policy has worked well for AISD employees and needs to continue.  Use your own words, but suggested points could include:

-- school board members are elected by majority vote; why shouldn’t AISD employees elect their consultation representative by majority vote?
 

-- opening consultation to every employee organization would be confusing and would unnecessarily weaken the one strong voice that has won pay raises and needed policy changes under elected consultation.

-- only Education Austin has the capability and willingness to advocate at the district-wide level for employees

-- Education Austin represents certified and classified employees equally

-- the consultation agent should be able to freely address the school board and the administration

·       Attend AISD’s all-staff meeting on Wednesday, April 18, from 6 PM to 8:30 PM at McCallum High School cafeteria, 5600 Sunshine Drive.  Tell the administration directly that elected consultation has served you well and you don't want any changes that would limit our voice.
