Dear Supporter, Thank you for standing with the educators and educational support professionals of the Mainland Regional Education Association. Because of the collective voice of our staff, families, and community members, we are pleased to share that a contract has been settled at the county average and approved by the MAINLAND BOE. Your support helped reinforce an essential message: the work done every day in our schools matters, and those who do it deserve fairness and respect. Throughout this process, our members remained committed to their students and to the community, even while working without a contract. Knowing that so many of you took the time to read, sign, and share our petition made a real difference. Public support matters — and yours was felt. On behalf of the teachers, aides, custodians, maintenance, secretarial staff, and all educational support professionals at Mainland Regional, thank you for standing with us and for supporting strong public schools. With gratitude, John-Fred Crane President Mainland Regional Education Association
