I attended the Instructional Supply Advisory Board meeting yesterday. The warehouse is going to start storing food items, so they need space. That space will be created by retiring some items currently stocked by the District Warehouse. I will post a full list when I receive it. Some of the items mentioned in the meeting were batteries, hand sanitizer, book pockets, K-5 LA specific paper, yarn, and compasses.
They will be offering the hand sanitizer for free, because it expired in February 2012. Your school will decide if it wants outdated hand sanitizer.
Did you know you can have items spiral bound? You can take the items to the ISC at Terra Linda and pay for the spiral binding, then they are sent to the ASB where the machine is located to be bound. They can't guarantee specific dates for the binding, because there are only two people who do that work. If you are planning for next year, now may be the time to get this going.

Legislative Council (AR) Meeting
We had a great meeting last night! Your building AR should be going through a PowerPoint on Who Decides? This talks about the many decisions made by people other than you, often with less knowledge than you, which impact you and what you do in your classroom. This lesson goes along with the information in the TEF video produced by UEA.
I would also like to encourage you to vote in the UEA Election. The ARs voted to support Robin Frodge for the NEA State Director position.
An issue came up about supplies from the District and the 12% surcharge. I spoke to Richard Field, Central Warehouse Manager. He said the 12% is not a delivery charge; it is a charge to pay for the running of the warehouse. Also, what I understood and stated was incorrect. The prices listed DO NOT include the 12% charge. Secretaries may charge your grade level or department account the 12% at the time of the order or at the end of the month when the school is charged by the warehouse.
I also asked Mr. Field about substitutions. He said that there shouldn't be substitutions, that items are usually backordered. He also said that you are allowed to return unused items within a month of the order.
If you know a JEA member who is retiring, we will be honoring them in May. Please contact me with their name and school.
