  This is a tremendous loss to the Tecumseh community and to the educational community," said Jim Hartley, Madison superintendent."He had so much class.He was always professional, very knowledgeable.He was one of the guys who was truly a mentor to me when I first started as a superintendent."
  
  Duhan was superintendent at Tecumseh when Hartley took over at Madison.
  ...
  "I don't think they ever made a decision that wasn't in the best interests of all 12 school districts," Hartley said.

  Madison Superintendent Jim Hartley said the contract the teachers voted upon was one the union wrote itself, not what the board considers the agreement reached in February.
  
  "(The union's) document certainly will not be on the (board's April 21) agenda," Hartley said Saturday."The board made it clear they will not ratify that document."
  
  Madison teachers have been working without a contract since August 2006.A tentative agreement was reached after a marathon negotiating session Feb. 13, with the agreement being signed shortly after midnight.But disagreement arose in the following days about four parts of the deal: snow day make-ups, what parts of the contract are retroactive, how many months of health insurance premiums would be refunded and language regarding subpoenas, Hartley said.Teachers claimed in newspaper ads and at the Madison school board's March 10 meeting that the school administration and board was going back on its word on the contract.Hartley responded that the deal included terms agreed to in negotiations in October 2006.
  
  Hartley said the board had a special meeting this week to discuss the contract status and met briefly with Radant and union chief negotiator Jeannine Craig.
  ...
  Hartley said the offer from the board is "far superior" to any other teachers' contract recently reached in Lenawee County in terms of salary increases, working days and health insurance options.
  
  "No board of education has come close to putting the money into salary and fringe benefits that the Madison Board of Education has," he said.
  
  "The bottom line is the approach (the union has) taken to this continues to cost our teachers money, and unnecessarily so," Hartley said, explaining that the teachers continue to pay more for health insurance than they would under the new deal.

  According to Superintendent Jim Hartley, the non-homestead operating millage will remain at 18 mills.The non-homestead operating millage is levied on businesses, second homes and rental properties.
  
  The district will reduce its debt levy from 1.6 mills levied in 2007-08 to 1.4 mills for 2008-09, Hartley said.When the debt was approved in 1998 to build the high school gymnasium, voters were promised the levy would not exceed 2.25 mills.
  
  The building and site levy was reduced from 1 mill to 0.9626 mill for 2007-08 because of the Headlee Amendment rollback, he said.

  Superintendent James Hartley said Friday the plan is available for this year only. Those accepting the severance plan must have a minimum of 25 years of service credit in state retirement system and be at the top of the district's salary schedule, he said.Hartley said at least three teachers were required to take advantage of the plan for it to take effect.They would receive $30,000 each, and if four or more accepted the package, each retiree would receive $41,000.
  
  Any teacher interested in the plan would have, by law, 45 days - or until July 14 - to conclude their service, Hartley said.
  
  This agreement had another provision, according to Hartley.Representatives from the Madison Education Association must have had the necessary paperwork signed and filed with his office by the end of the business day Friday.
  
  The same offer was made available to any of the district principals, Hartley said, but administration personnel interested in the deal would not be part of the teacher plan.

  Craig's grievance about Superintendent Jim Hartley requiring her to produce more than one doctor's statement of her fitness to work after she had an asthma attack and was taken to a hospital was heard by the board at its April meeting.
  ...
  Michigan Education Association representative Jan Tombeau alleged during Gray's grievance hearing that it appears Hartley has singled out members of the union's negotiating team as four of the five recent grievances have come from Radant, Craig and Gray.
  ...
  Hartley said none of the examples cited by Tombeau other than the other teacher with flight problems were quite like Gray's situation.He said the advance notice requirement was put into the contract years ago because the administration and union had noticed there were problems with teachers using personal days at the beginning or end of vacations.
  
  "Never once have I approved (personal business) days due to travel," Hartley said.
  
  The times he has approved the use of personal business days that coincided with holidays have been for matters out of the teachers' control, such as a relative's retirement party or a child's graduation from a neighboring school district.
  
  "The problem is the track record is as soon as I approve something, someone else thinks this pertains to them or is close enough," Hartley said.

  Superintendent Jim Hartley said Monday it would be "devastating" if the voters did not pass the renewal.Without approval, he said, the district would not be able to operate and would have no other alternative but to approach the voters again.
