In response the Courier article (PhillyBurbs.com: Board backs effort to stop teacher strikes), I would like to clear up a few mis conceptions. The first being that we are in support of House Bill 2092. According to the article "Both are a show of support for the STRIKE-FREE Education Amendment House Bill 2092, officials said." Well, as far as I know NO officials said so, and if they did, who was the official that said so? We specifically removed mention of both Hous Bills because as a board we do not support them. We do recognize that some things need to be done, but this is not the way to go about it.
Another thing I would like to mention is that, in MY opinion, this does not affect negotions that are a year away. We have a good working relationship with our teachers. Over the last two years I have been on the board I have seen how dedicated our teachers are and how they are working with us to make the district better. This was not a decision that was personal or against our teachers ... it was for our students as well as for the students across the state. But, like I said, this was my opinion and how I feel. We are a board of 9 different people and we do not always agree. Therefore those who vote differently have their right to their opinion as well.
