2008: A Look Back

Locally, we had the worst snow in 40 years last January, and then we had the worst snow in 40-something weeks this December. We negotiated a new three year contract with the district, raised our WEAPAC membership to the highest level it's ever been, and used our money wisely to keep our local dues among the lowest in the region. If there's something more that you'd like to see out of the MLEA, just ask and we'll do what we can!

For a national perspective check out this article from USA Today; it's a well-written overview of the big stories of the last year, and it gives some good indicators of where we could go in 2009.

I hope to see you all again soon, and here's to a great 2009!
