		<description><![CDATA[Please let me know if I can be of assistance in supporting the EPED aspect of the negotiation.  I realize that an ever smaller percent of the FTE&#039;s in madison participate in EPED positions therfore limiting the urgency to negotiate for increases.  We are in a crisis situation when it comes to getting and retaining coaches and advosors in our buildings.  It may be appropriate to once again (as we did nearly a decade ago)do a survey of hours and responsibilities related to equipment, # of participants, out of season programs, # of games etc.  This is how we reached the $ values tha tare currently linked to the first step increases. Thanks, Steve Filippone]]></description>
