December 17 ECS Board Meeting following site tour

Following the bus tour to the various sites of ECS was this meeting.

January 18, 2012 School board meeing

The meeting begins here.

I panicked when they presented the ETA topics for negotiation (three items) and the District Office list of topics (two pages worth of demands) all degrading the authority and pay of the teacher. I addressed the board thinking no one else was present for discussion and I got my first lesson in "Sunshining."

My goal is to not have to address the board. I would like to see more teachers getting together and tag-teaming board meetings. If we got 6 teachers to occupy every board meeting, our presence and our determination will have an impact on this contract's negotiations.
