Today, bargaining #Portland#teachers approved of a deal and the bargaining team for #PPS did too, but when it came down to it THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO REJECT THE PROPOSAL THEIR BARGAINING TEAM RECOMMENDED! We’re coming close to week 4 of the #strike, and with all this time I hope our community sees who is pushing to get students back to schools in a successful fashion and who is not. Expect more information regarding this afternoon’s action soon! #PATsolidarity#Oregon#UnionStrong
This is why local elections can be so important. National elections suck a lot of air out of the room and make a lot of noise, but locally people have more real leverage to affect situations like these.
@hadeny sounds like this needs a correction? PPS is saying they are close but there was not a tentative agreement, "the parties began discussing how best to address classrooms that exceed an agreed-upon threshold... concerns about student privacy..." [if other parents were involved]
