4. You spoke and we listened!  WSPA is partnering with Stevens Clay P.S. to offer an Eastside Bargaining Workshop .  There will be two sessions available.  One will be a half-day Zoom intended for people who are brand-new to bargaining... think a recent building administrator who has moved to HR.  This session will likely be on March 10 or 11.   The second session will be a day long session intended for an audience of people with bargaining experience.  In both sessions, there will be interactive activities and multiple different presenters.  A finalized agenda will be available and registration will open within a week.  The in-person session will be offered in Spokane on March 14- note the proximity to the Spokane Career Fair!   We're trying to help you have less travel in order to get more for your dollar.  More information coming soon!
5. Of particular note in the legislative world is HB 1791- a bill concerning the reprimands of professional educators .  This is something we need to pay attention to and weigh in on.
