What is the union upset with?  what are your solutions?  When will you know you have been successful?  Clear outcomes:
We want the Health curriculum changes stopped.
We want the block scheduling imitative to stop.
We want to be part of the solutions, but SLW and Saron have created conditions where are voice is not heard.
We want a leadership change at the district level and maybe the school board level.
We want the school board to supervise their administrators.
We want raises for teachers -- every other employee groups get raises for doing nothing EXCEPT teachers. (Admin, Admin Support and Support staff --- every year)

Personal Opinions:  Employees shall be guaranteed full freedom in expressing personal opinions on all matters relevant to course content, provided, however, that where they do so they shall make every effort to indicate that they are speaking personally and not on behalf of the school, its administration, or the Board.

No teacher shall be prevented from wearing pins or other identification or symbolism in expression of membership in the association, religious orders, political systems, or sympathy with social causes or traditions.

Everything you send to Brad goes to the FULL board as well. -- everything from now on.

Dr. Saron,

I am writing to let you know that teachers and community members plan to attend the board meeting on Monday night to engage in their right to address their elected officials.

We have met numerous times and have tried to address our issues on a personal and professional level, but our members have grown impatient and feel the need to act.

We would encourage you not to interfere or try and negate their right to address their elected officials.  If you have concerns about their comments, please let us know so we can have our attorney present if you plan to have a conversation with them.

Additionally, I will no longer be meeting alone with you.  I would request a school board member be present that is not Tom Weber or Steve Schroeder in all of our future meetings.  I will also bring at least 1-2 other union members with me.

We are deeply saddened that we were unable to resolve these issues with your administration.

No supervision of sporting events.  Go and watch the students, but don't work for them. -- that would be huge this week with state football

This could be a major action step.

The SPEA will vote on the confidence of Dr. Brad Saron to lead this district in meeting its mission and vision.

# data[].attributes.body
Make it clear to members they are never to meet with an administrator including SLW or Dr. Saron alone, ever.  They must take a union member.

If a member is in trouble -- get an attorney (not some union hack) an ATTORNEY to represent them.

If in real trouble, call LESTER PINES.  No one better.

1.  You may need an outside facilitator.
2.  It would be best to have wifi and people bring their chrome books

Agenda
Phase I - We are together and together we are strong.
1.  Introductions, where they teach,

Phase 2 - Problem Identification
2.  Use a padlet or chart paper or post-its for people to to write out their  top 3 concerns about the district (may need to break into groups) -- have people write privately first and then share with their group
3.  Organize the post-its into themes (by groups if needed)
4.  Have people/group report out their biggest concerns and capture them on chart paper, etc...
5. Outline -- okay, these are our 3 big themes.  if they can't decide on the three big issues --- write them down and use sticky dots to vote or hand vote.

Phase 3 - Action Step Generation
6.  Have people switch groups and determine what actions steps they are willing to take (have people write privately first and then share with their group)  use items from this padlet to jump start their thinking.
7.  Have groups share their thinking about what actions steps they are willing to take.
8.  If there is not clear agreement on which action steps to take, write them down and use sticky dots to vote.
9.  Determine your first three action steps.

Phase IV - Communication
10.  Determine how to communicate this to all members - when and how?
11. Encourage non-union members to participate in the unions action steps.  How to communicate with them?

Phase V - Prepare for Pushback
12.  What can we predict will happen when we take these actions?  What will be our response?

Phase VI
13.  How will we know we have been successful?  What do we want?  What do we want changed?

As a concerned voter....

I am worried about poor decisions being made by Dr. Saron, SLW, and the School Board.

worried about the morale of public school teachers who work with students

worried about student achievement further declining due to heavier workloads and poor morale.

worried about our best teachers leaving and going to other districts

worried that our legal budget was increased by 150K and teachers haven't received raises in 5 years.

For meetings during the school day, Please remove me from the ELA steering committee as it is a waste of tax payer monies for me to leave my students to participate in a committee whose work is already pre-determined by SLW and Dr Saron.
