Teachers' union asks Ontario SD 8C board for regular agenda time
Summary
Kristin Wheeler, speaking for OEA, requested monthly Board agenda placement for a collaborative discussion between the union, building administrators and the district. The Board read public comment rules before the speaker's remarks.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, Kristin Wheeler urged the Board to set aside monthly agenda time for the teachers' union to collaborate with the district and building-level administrators, saying monthly meetings at the building level generate substantial staff feedback that should be shared at the Board level.
Vice-Chair Abby Apodaca read the Board’s public-comment rules to speakers before the comment period, including time limits and decorum expectations: “To ensure that the scheduled business of the Board is conducted in a timely manner pursuant to the published agenda, each person must limit his or her comments to three minutes.” The Board did not respond to the request during the meeting; Superintendent Albisu and staff were asked to follow up if requested.
