A&R's Late Summer Picnic at Maneeley's is fast approaching and will be held on August 31. Cost of the picnic is just $15. Cash bar available. All A&R members are welcome to attend.
The deadline to register for this event ended 8/24/2018
On Tuesday evening, August 14, the Detroit Board of Education approved a revised academic calendar for the 2018-2019 school year. It includes a new set of dates for spring break: April 1-5. The previous academic calendar outlined April 19-26 as a break.
It is unfortunate that the dates were changed, however, the district needed to comply with the Wayne RESA common calendar and student testing schedules. The revised calendar also eliminates one-hour-early releases on Wednesdays.

By-Laws Update: We are currently working on a proposed By-Laws to present to the General Membership as soon as we sign the Contract with The College.
Negotiations Update: We last met with the College on November 21st at which time both parties agreed that we have reached impasse. To that end, we have filed a Notice of Impasse with the NJ Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC). They will assign a mediator to the parties to begin the process of mediation.
Once we have more information as to when our first session is scheduled, we will update this site. For now, please be assured that your Negotiating Team is working hard to accomplish as much as possible in this initial contract.
As always, we appreciate your patience and support.
