If You Were an Elected School Board Official Could You Live
With Yourself If . . .
· School children were hurt as a result of an electrical bid you accepted based on price alone? One that never considered how QUALIFIED the electrician was?
 
School Board Officials Can Play It Safe By Contracting With Local 347 Contractors Because:
EVERY JOURNEYMAN ON THE SCHOOL JOB SITE HAS A MINIMUM OF 10000 HOURS OF ON THE JOB & CLASSROOM TRAINING.
Non-Union Contractors are only required to attain a FRACTION OF THIS TRAINING.
 
Your Quick Email Reemphasizes SAFETY For Thousands
of School Children
Email School Board President Ginny Strong at ginnyforschools@yahoo.com and tell her to consider both price and qualifications when it comes to evaluating bids on electrical projects.

Now that we have statewide licensing, it is imperative that you get your 18 hours of continuing education as soon as possible, which must have 6 hours of code update.  The remainder is electrical industry related (first aid, CPR, OSHA, etc. does not count).  There will be a cutoff date sometime towards the end of the licensing period, so we strongly urge you to take classes now   because after the cutoff date you will be on your own. 

There will be no last minute classes put on as in the past.

The licensing division of the Examining Board has been getting licenses out the door the past couple months.  Over 4000 have been mailed and the rest are either waiting on information, or in the act of being processed.  If you have not gotten your license yet and you are not sure if you are missing information, call 866-923-1082.
