Recently, a media director in our region asked if we could poll Central MN media specialists about extended contract days (additional extra paid days in the summer). The deadline for this 30-second poll is 2/15/16 and CMLE staff will share the compiled results in an upcoming blog post. The compiled data could help you make a case for much needed extra paid days.
