No teachers are “formally” on strike at this point. Seems they are busy getting their local contracts in order before the states can pass any limits on their bargaining ability with their school district.
Could it be any more clear why the governor was trying to limit the collective bargaining in a state bill. These individual districts have made contracts (for years ahead) that will bust the state’s budget. Teachers will be laid off.
All of the teachers in the district I live in have received lay off notices...it is looking like 20% of them will actually be laid off. I can live with that for the first year...maybe we can do this again next year...
