DHMH Administration Meets With AFT Maryland and AFT-Healthcare Maryland President, Debra Perry on DDA Reorganization
On Monday, March 7th a meeting was conducted with Valerie Roddy, Stefanie Garrity, Ken Murray, Janet Nugent, Michael Spiller, and President Perry (AFT Healthcare- Maryland) to discuss the organizational structure of DDA and its financial business processes. The changes that began Monday will clearly delineate organizational roles and responsibilities within the centralized offices and the regional offices; align the duties of each unit so that there are clear lines of authority and responsibility; establish the framework for a new organizational culture; and enable more effective business processes. The changes will not involve layoffs, but may involve some employee retraining. Your Union will continue to monitor and work with DHMH to make sure that your rights and job are protected.

Ethics and Teacher Reviews
This article, written by Penelope Swenson, is an excellent description of the non-reelecton process and questions the ethics of the process. The author offers administrators options to offer the teacher who may be good but may need more "seasoning." She suggests that administrators reflect and ask themselves, "How did I try to help? What could I do or could have done?" Administrators should look at teachers as the greatest resource for improving student learning.

No Cuts to Administration Yet
On a larger note, it is a lack of leadership for the District adminstration to order cuts of certificated, classified employees and to raise class sizes for Frosh classes and to sweep funds out of educational programs all before administrators offer to make one cut to their salaries. If our situation is so dire, bold leadership would require that the leaders of this district take the first steps.
Let's save quality programs first, adminstrator salaries second.
