A bill to prohibit
school calendar as a topic of bargaining could pass the House as soon as
tomorrow. It’s urgent that school employees, parents, and other education
stakeholders in communities across the state contact lawmakers on the issue
immediately!
Not only should MEA members call
their legislators, but school employees should encourage community members,
friends, and family to voice opposition to the loss of local control in
educational decision-making represented by House Bill
5194.
Educators are the experts on the
front lines, and we know what our students need in terms of a calendar and
schedule. Prohibiting calendar from bargaining is yet another example of the
state overstepping its role and usurping local authority.
As schools move forward with
innovative programs and individualized learning plans, administration and
educators need to jointly plan, prepare, and solve problems together to achieve
best practices and create an effective learning environment for children
