Dear Members:
In these final days of the school year, make a list of phone numbers and e-mail addresses of teachers at your school. Talk to your students’ parents and get their contact information as well. We need your help in organizing this summer. Download the spreadsheet at the bottom of this post and e-mail it to coreteachers@gmail.com.
In an emergency meeting on Tuesday, the Board of Education voted unanimously to give CEO Ron Huberman the authority to fire tenured and non-tenured teachers and increase class sizes to 35 students per class.
The Board will work overtime this summer to ensure their demands are met. They assume that teachers, PSRPs, parents, and students will be “on vacation.” The last thing the board wants us to do is to continue organizing.
The Union will contact all stakeholders to fight the layoffs and ballooning class sizes.
In Solidarity,
President-Elect Karen Lewis
