Marge Thomas of the Gloucester City Education Association (GCEA) asked the Board of Education to set up a meeting concerning the \”sick bank\” program.
During last week’s meet-ing, Mrs. Thomas, a staff member at Gloucester High and a member of the executive committee of the GCEA, asked the School Board when its designated committee would be meeting with the GCEA’s \”sick bank\” committee to discuss an agreement on this issue.
A sick bank traditionally is designed to aid employees who have used all of their accrued sick, personal and vacation time due to an injury or illness of their own, or due to the health issue of a family member.
Thomas said it was agreed upon at the signing of the last contract that both sides would work to approve a mutually acceptable sick bank agreement, which, to this point, has not been discussed.
Both Superintendent Paul Spaventa and Board Committee Head Edward Hubbs said they have been in touch with members of the GCEA, and a meeting to discuss the issue will be scheduled.
