Here is another update for those of you whose old contracts contained sick-day and/or severance pay clauses relating to furlough or termination.  On July 16, our attorneys submitted eight separate briefs to arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrators have 30 days to issue a decision, unless they feel they need to convene a hearing to obtain additional information. Therefore, we should be hearing soon on this important matter.  We will contact you as soon as we are informed of the resolution.

 A member at our affiliated school, St. Michael’s in Hoban Heights, was fired at the end of the last school year.  SDACT alleges that the School did not have just cause for such action.  An arbitrator will resolve this dispute following a hearing slated for August 29th.
