<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Leslie,</div><div>I am writing to let you know that the NEIU attorney, speaking for CCADE (I am co-chair this year) has attempted to speak with the CPS attorney listed on the student teaching contract about multiple issues that concern the 22 CCADE members. After getting an "out of office" e-mail last week, Kristin contacted our attorney, Melissa Reardon-Henry, to say that she would get back to her today about our request for extended time to review the contract as well as for a meeting with the person in charge of the contract. As of this hour, we have not heard back.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am writing to say that in the name of NEIU I cannot sign the contract today as it is written. As we have always had a collaborative working relationship, I hope that the fact that our attorney is in contact with yours will be an indication that we expect to sign a contract with CPS when the issues of concern to us get ironed out. Twelve days to review a contract with such significant changes is not enough time for the parties to reach an understanding of the various new aspects that are included in the contract.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Maureen<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><br><span style="color:rgb(0,74,152);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold">College of Education</span><br>
