Intermediate teachers report low morale, high stress and class‑size concerns to Santee board
Summary
Michelle McNearney, speaking for STA intermediate members, presented survey findings citing low morale, high stress, insufficient prep time and concerns about class size and student behavior.
Michelle McNearney, representing intermediate members of the Santee Teachers Association, addressed the Board during public comment and presented survey results from November showing teacher concerns about morale and working conditions.
McNearney said survey responses highlighted "low‑morale, high stress levels, not having what they need to do their jobs, class size, prep time, and student behaviors," adding teachers "feel they are given more tasks with not enough time and/or resources to complete what is asked of them, and there is no follow‑through." The remarks prompted acknowledgment from Board members and were recorded for follow up in staff‑labor discussions.
