Greetings from OSEA President Tim Stoelb

Welcome back! I trust everyone got some well-deserved rest over the summer. It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is just around the corner and school will soon be underway.

Every academic year brings a whole host of anxieties for thousands of students across the state. We all remember experiencing it ourselves. We would be anxious to see who our new friends would be and look forward to getting reacquainted with friends from previous years. Questions such as “Who is in my class?”, “Who is sitting next to me?”, “Who will help me learn?” and “What is the new school like?” always come up at the start of an academic year.

It’s not that much different for us as classified employees. Every year we look forward to the new challenges that the beginning of the academic year brings. Some of us have new assignments, new supervisors, new coworkers or new schools. Many of those same questions and anxieties we had as children face us at the start of each year. The only difference is now we see them through a different lens.

Regardless, we are energized and ready to go do our part to ensure our students get the best education we can provide. And we do it gladly because that is who we are.

Besides the many back-to-school events and membership drives already underway, our zone directors are in the process of planning their respective zone meetings. Executive Director Rick Shidaker and I will be heading out on the road ourselves starting in October and hope to visit with as many of our classified employees as we can.

OSEA chapter leaders around the state will be out there visiting members as well. We want to make sure your year is filled with enjoyment and success. Our union will be there for you and it is our sincere belief that you will be with us as well.

Have a great school year and I hope to see you soon.

With Angie Hanson, Q Prince Macklin, Lisa Beth and Susan Greeley.
