Hello out there in working teacher & working educator world! Remember starting the school year on strike! Why were we on picket lines instead of in our buildings and our classrooms, with our kids?
Do you remember Superintendent Nyland's bargaining team ignoring our bargaining team from May until August 17, when they rejected everything? Do you remember the hardball from the district? Do you remember that the Seattle Public School School Board voted to give Mr. Nyland authority to take us to court for exercising a human right to organize and to petition for redress of grievance? (except for Sue Peters and Betty Patu)? Do you remember that this was the school board which hired Mr. Nyland last November, at the last minute, with an announcement of a key meeting on the Wed. before Thanksgiving weekend?
EACH of us needs to reach out to 8 friends and family to recommend the following 4 school board members. EACH of us needs to email or to talk in person or to phone call 8 Seattle voter people who trust us on this school stuff.
IF we don't participate, THEN elected officials patronize us. They have less incentive to help us help our kids, and more incentive to do what they've been doing for years - pat us on the heads and tell us what we want to hear.
