Sick Leave Bank Forms
Please find attached the Sick Leave Bank form that must be filled out whether you wish to participate in the Sick Leave Bank or not.
- Everyone should fill out a form.
- All forms need to be turned in to me at MHS via school mail or in person – Melanie Kassing at MHS.
- All forms are due Friday, May 13, 2016. If the sick bank form is not received by me by Friday, May 13 your status will be the same as this year. Late sick bank forms will not be accepted! Again, if your form is not received by the deadline your status remains the same as this school year. No exceptions!
If you work with any full-time employees who do not receive school e-mail, please print a copy of the form for them.
If you are returning, after having left the Sick Leave Bank, you will need to donate 3 days. Please see the contract language on the Sick Leave Bank form or please refer to the contract found at http://mea19.org
We will not need to ask for days from existing Sick Leave Bank members for the upcoming school year.
Please see an MEA Building Rep with questions – you do not need to be an MEA member to join the Sick Leave Bank. Building Reps are listed on the MEA web-page – contact button. http://mea19.org

Call to Action
From our Region 4 IEA Office:
We’ve been asked to help our friends at AFSCME lobby our legislators in support of HB 580, a bill that would allow AFSCME to have their contract dispute with Gov. Rauner decided by a neutral arbitrator. The Governor is basically refusing to move off of his anti-union, anti-middle class agenda.
Please call your legislators at 1-888-912-5959 and ask them to support HB 580.
Congratulations MEA Region 4 Reps!
Please take a moment to congratulate the newly elected IEA RA Region 4 Delegates from MEA!
2016 IEA Representative Assembly Delegates: Barb Elmore, Lisa Foster, & Mary Neisler.
Thanks so much to these members for giving their time to represent MEA at IEA!!!
Again, congratulations and thank you ladies!
