Gathered inside the Wonder Ballroom in Northeast Portland on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 8 p.m., Ballot Measures 66 and 67 supporters settled in for what they believed was going to be a close vote and a long night of waiting for election results.
The long, narrow ballroom was crowded with legislators, union members and campaign volunteers all talking and waiting together.
Then, at 8:05 p.m., the first ballot return results were being reported. By 8:15 p.m., the news outlets were declaring the ballot measures would pass. The news spread quickly throughout the crowd. Everyone realized with shocked certainty that “We WON!” a quick and decisive victory.
“I’m stunned and ecstatic!” exclaimed OSEA President Merlene Martin after hearing that both the measures would pass.

Lake Oswego First Student Chapter 202 installed their first executive board this week at Lake Grove Elementary. Zone II Director Jane Carlson swore in Christy Marshall as chapter president, Sim Lyons as vice president, John DeJager as treasurer and Justin Delacour as secretary.
As soon as the officers were sworn in, Marshall called the chapter meeting to order and five members volunteered to serve on the bargaining committee. The committee will have their first meeting Tuesday, Feb. 9, to do some collective bargaining training, finalize a membership survey and schedule further meetings so they can get to the bargaining table as soon as possible.

Classified Employees Week
|
Oregon recognizes classified employees for their dedication and commitment to students and public education during Classified Employees Week, March 1-5, 2010.
OSEA’s theme for this year’s Classified Employees Week is “Schools work and students learn with classified employees on the job.” This theme is a message to our members and the public that classified employees are essential to education. It is hard work that deserves recognition!
Every year, OSEA designs and produces a poster for Classified Employees Week. The posters are mailed to chapter presidents and building employee representatives to post at worksites and hand out to whomever would like copies.
For those worksites that do not have building employee representatives, posters will be sent to the school and addressed to the head secretary. Extra copies of the poster will be available at the OSEA State Office, Eugene Office, Metro Office and Southern Oregon Office.

The NEW look of OSEA
Along with a new logo, which was adopted by the OSEA Board of Directors, OSEA is developing an entirely new look for everything from the Journal to letterhead. The Web site will also be getting a "facelift"; however, it will take more time to develop. Please be patient with us during this process. Thank you!
