During a recent government meeting, a significant motion was introduced regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that currently only allows union members to vote. A board member raised concerns about the lack of representation for all teachers, emphasizing that the contract should reflect the interests of the entire teaching staff, not just those affiliated with the union.
The board member expressed confidence in the board's commitment to the welfare of all employees and formally proposed a motion to reject the proposed CBA. The motion calls for the superintendent and staff to create an employee handbook that would be subject to a vote by all employees, ensuring broader participation in decisions that affect their working conditions.
The motion received a second from another board member, indicating support for the initiative. This development highlights ongoing discussions about inclusivity and representation within the educational workforce, as the board seeks to address the concerns of all teachers in the district.
