District to invite teachers to apply for lead-teacher roles despite union's objections, superintendent says
Summary
Superintendent said the district will proceed with a lead-teacher program at Revere High School aimed at giving teachers collaboration time; the teachers union sent a letter opposing the program and administration said it would continue after legal consultation and invite teachers to apply.
The superintendent told the committee the district plans to reestablish lead-teacher positions at Revere High School to provide teachers dedicated collaboration time, but that the teachers union has expressed opposition. "The teachers union sent us a letter in June saying... they didn't approve of the new program," Dr. Kelly said, then noted she responded after consulting legal counsel and that the district would proceed with its plan.
Administration said the lead-teacher roles are designed to give teachers a period to meet with colleagues and to remove barriers that kept teachers from collaborating during the school day. Dr. Kelly acknowledged the union's concerns but said invitations to apply for the positions have been sent and the program will move forward while respecting collective-bargaining processes. Committee members asked for confirmation that instruments and major equipment are not being discarded as part of disposals tied to program adjustments.
