WBCEA files letter showing majority representation of certified staff
Summary
A June 16 letter included in the June 26 meeting record shows the WBCEA claims 37 of 69 certified staff (53%), meeting the Article I.B majority threshold; the letter is signed by WBCEA President Mike McMahon and cites Idaho Code 33‑1271 and 33‑1272.
The WBCEA provided a dated letter asserting it had majority representation among certified staff and placed the document in the Negotiations Committee record. The letter states that the district has 69 certified staff and that the association has 37 certified members, which it records as 53 percent, and cites Article I Part B of the negotiated agreement as well as Idaho Code 33‑1271 and 33‑1272 to justify recognition for bargaining.
The letter is signed by Mike McMahon, who is identified in the record as WBCEA President. The meeting's 'Agreed Upon Items' shows a sign‑off acknowledging that the representation threshold (50% plus one) was met, which permitted the parties to proceed with negotiations during the June 26 session. The minutes do not record a contested challenge to the counts.
