<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Melissa,</div><div>I have updated the letter that CCADE is proposing to send to CPS related to the issues with the proposed contract. This will give you an idea of the types of things that are in there that, without a discussion of the details, are extremely worrisome to all of us. Some institutions have signed because CPS has stated that if it is not back Monday, you will not be allowed to have your students enter CPS schools. So, the goal for Monday would be an extension of the sign date and a date for a meeting with whoever is in charge of this (Barbara Byrd-Bennett, Alicia Winkler - I'm not sure). When we went through this before, we met directly with Arne Duncan and the then head of HR, which would be Alicia Winkler).</div>
<div><br></div><div>If they insist that we sign (12 days to review is ridiculous), please let me know asap. I am hoping that you hear from them first thing.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll be on campus but if you need my cell - it is 773-401-8034.</div>
<div>Thanks for all of your help,</div><div>Maureen<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><font face=""><span style="color:rgb(0,74,152);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px"><strong>Maureen Gillette</strong>, Dean</span><br>
