Over winter break, the Anoka-Hennepin Schools negotiation team met with Anoka Hennepin Education Minnesota (AHEM) twice - on Dec. 30 and again on Jan. 2 - in an effort to continue to find a solution for an updated agreement that both values the impact of teachers and recognizes the tight budget parameters that are a reality in our school district.
The process to determine an updated working agreement for Anoka-Hennepin Education Minnesota (AHEM) will continue in mediation following a four-hour negotiation session held today at the Educational Services Center in Anoka. The school district provided a proposal for the AHEM negotiators to consider and discussion will continue at the next scheduled mediation session set for Friday, Jan. 2.
Anoka-Hennepin Education Minnesota (AHEM), the union representing the district's teachers, delivered an official notice of intent to strike to the school district on December 22. The district has outlined answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), what happens next, and what happens in the event of a work stoppage.
Anoka-Hennepin Schools values the dedication of its staff members and it is the goal to improve terms and conditions for employees while working within tight budget parameters that maintain financial and operational stability for the district.
