Due to CDC guidelines, we will not have a road show. Instead, if you have any questions about the contract we urge you to contact your yard representatives or steward to inquire about the 2019/2020 tentative agreement.  

As always, you can also contact DCSMEC directly for further guidance. We are currently working together with management to facilitate an online vote using your school board email address that can be easily accessed by your district cell phone, computer, iPad or any smart devices you use. The vote will be as easy as – yes (I,accept the agreement) or no (I don’t accept the agreement).

If for any reason you need access to a smart device in order to vote, please let your DCSMEC representatives at your facility know so we can arrange for management to provide you with accessibility to a computer. You need to tend to that right away.

The actual date for the vote has not been determined yet, but we hope to be ready soon. Take this time to inquire about the tentative agreement. DCSMEC wants to thank you for your support and encourages everyone to vote. This vote is open to everyone under the DCSMEC contract.

With record numbers of Covid-19 cases in our communities, DCSMEC recommends that you follow CDC guidelines for your safety and that of others.
