Ousted Treasurer Promoted

I noticed that Sue S**** is listed as the Blue Treasurer. Apparently she is replacing John S****** of Bonduel, who held the position last year.

I sincerely hope she can do a better job as treasurer of the regional assocation, than she did as treasurer of our local.

April 29th, 2006 marked the first annual Treasures report for the De Pere Educational Support Association in well over 5 years. Oddly enough, local treasurer Sue S**** was not present at this meeting, reportedly in Madison at a WEAC meeting.. In a notice a few days after the meeting from the Union president the discrepancies discussed at the meting were clarified.

"The 3 sheets that were included in the packet were not for our union. They were samples sent from WEAC from other teacher unions and intended only to be used as an example for us when setting up our reports. When I printed off the reports I inadvertently included these and they were included in the packet."

In the March 2010 De Pere Educational Support Association officer election, 23 year veteran treasurer Sue S***** was defeated, by a 57 to 44 vote.

At this same meeting a motion was made and approved to form an Audit committee, to ensure that the handoff to the new treasurer would be a smooth transition. It was noted that we had never performed an audit before.

At the October 2010 general membership meeting, the audit committee reported their findings. There was a lack of receipts for checks written.

I guess I should try and be more optimistic. After all she was chosen as ESP of the year for 2010.

"Sue once wondered what she could do to make a child’s day great, so she wore her clown shoes to recess. They were a big hit and the students ask when she’s going to wear them again. Even though the shoes gave her blisters I’m sure she’ll wear them again to make the kids happy and laugh," said Theder, who presented the Education Support Professional Award to her at WEAC’s annual Awards and Recognition Banquet held this past weekend in Green Bay.

I'm not knocking her at her job. Apparently she is very good with kids. But those clown shoes sure got noticed by association members.

You'd think all those trips to Madison for WEAC training would have taught her something. Apparently the Dilbert Principle has some logic?
