WE NEED HELP! I really hope this doesn’t get flagged as self-promotion – I am one of the people effected trying to boost awareness. We believe National attention is the only thing that will get any sort of motion happening.
The American education system is failing its teachers in the 5th largest school district in the country. Teachers in Clark County, Nevada are in their seventh week of teaching with no contract due to the superintendent refusing to agree to raises that were budgeted for previously. It is illegal for us to strike, and our superintendent has been lawyering up for any form of protest we have. His latest move was to file a restraining order restricting teachers from using their own PTO to “sick out” and it worked.
Please help us draw more attention to this. The district and the union are at an impasse with the district “refusing to continue bargaining” and there is nothing we can do to stop it. They are trying to destabilize public education and it is working.
