Petitions Due Today for School Employees’ Benefits Advisory Council Special Election A special election for the Superintendent’s School Employees’ Benefits Advisory Council (SEBAC) will be held December 10-11. The special election will be held to fill the positions of three US-19 and below representatives and an alternate, one instructional assistant representative and an alternate, and one teacher representative and an alternate. The alternate positions will be filled by the runner-up candidate from each job category. Each elected representative will serve his or her respective community-of-interest group until June 2010 by working as a liaison between management, employees, and retirees. The elected representatives will serve as chairpersons or committee members of various benefits committees, attend meetings at the various boards and commissions as directed by the chairperson of the SEBAC, and represent employees on benefits issues. An HR News petition, issue No. 92, was sent to US-19 and below bus drivers and attendants, custodians, food service employees, trade and maintenance employees, and Department of Facilities and Transportation Services employees at their home addresses to nominate candidates for the US-19 and below, instructional assistant, and teacher representative vacancies. The issue is also available on FCPSnet at http://fcpsnet.fcps.edu/supt/sebac/index.htm. Petitions must be sent to the Office of Employee Performance and Development (OEPD) by 4:30 p.m. today. Electronic ballots will be used in the voting process except in the following job group categories: custodians, food service employees, trade maintenance employees, and transportation employees. Each employee in these job categories will receive a paper ballot mailed to his or her home. Questions about the petition process may be directed to OEPD at 571-423-3252.
