Other Items

Why does CBA last only two years more?

Modeled after CR contract which has 2 more years

There is a host of other concessions, language not

covered tonight that will empower administration Now we entrust the needs of our children into the

capable hands of Mr. Copeland and his staff and task

them with using their new authority while working

with our teachers and bring Neshaminy back to where

we should be . . . Best in Bucks County!

Finally

WE have a contract that is based in reason and isfinancially doable.

I predict that if the same group of parents that

fought along side this board continue to standwith us, attend meetings, stay involved . thennothing and no one will stop us from makingNeshaminy achieve the goal of being the best for

our children, while protecting our seniors andother taxpayers from unreasonable tax increasesin the future.
