April 28th the OEA Negotiations Team, Doug Stephens, Lisa Vipperman, Clay Kirkham and Whit Freund met with the Ogden City School District team, Brenda Ruffier, Rich Moore, Bruce Penland and Eugene Hart and gave them a counter-proposal based on the fact-finder's report. That counter was given to the school board (the district team has no...I repeat...no decision making power unlike most teams) at their May 5th school board meeting where they "took it under consideration". That means two more weeks of this marathon year-long process. Oh, did I mention that Weber settled for this next year already and Ogden is still trying to settle last year's contract? The frustration level is at red for sure...I feel guilty asking for patience. It is ridiculous...
