Grievance Committee Seeks Transit Members: The Grievance Committee meets once a month to review, discuss and make recommendations to the Board on formal grievances filed by TEA members. You can contribute to this important function by serving on the committee. The retirement of Marc Dallas has led to a vacancy for a member from Transit D&C. If you are interested in serving or have any questions about the duties and responsibilities, please contact the existing Transit committee members: Don Marable, Barbara Fariss-Bateman, Ken Madden, or Committee Chair Adé Franklin.
