WBCEA submits membership verification showing 53% of certified staff
Summary
A June 16 letter included in the meeting record states the district has 69 certified staff and the WBCEA lists 37 members (53%), which the committee used to meet the Article I.B representation threshold for bargaining.
A June 16 letter included in the meeting record provided membership counts and cited Idaho Code in support of the union’s bargaining authority. The letter states: "Per Article I Part B of the [Negotiated Agreement] and per Idaho Code 33-1271 and 33-1272 the WBCEA is showing proof that we have representation of greater than 50%. The District has 69 certified staff and the Association has 37 certified members which is 53%."
The membership verification was recorded in the meeting materials and initialed by negotiation participants. Mike McMahon is listed in the record as WBCEA President and signed the document. The committee treated that documentation as satisfying the Article I.B threshold for negotiating; the meeting record notes the sign‑off.
