MASSP would like nothing more than for each of our members to keep their jobs for as long as they would like to have them. Unfortunately, in these difficult financial times, that may not be possible. If the worst should happen to you, we want you to know that we're on your side.

Should you receive notice that your position is being eliminated, consider the following:

1) Contact MASSP at 517.327.5315 immediately to take advantage of legal coverage provided by the association to members.

In FY 2006 – 2007, the Department issued guidance to pupil accounting contacts at both local and intermediate districts regarding the counting of time when some teachers are proctoring the Michigan Merit Exam (MME) while at the same time other teachers are engaged in professional development towards the 1,098 instructional hour requirement. At that time, we advised that for FY 2006 – 2007, FY 2007 – 2008, and FY 2008 – 2009 districts could count the time towards the 1,098 instructional hour requirement when the only high school pupils in session are the 11th grade pupils and the high school teachers are either proctoring the MME or engaged in qualified professional development.
