TEACHER STRIKE: 90% of

📚Raises

We beg to differ, Sheldon. We invite anyone to inquire as to both community and educator sentiment regarding your toxic management style. You have a track record in Andover, Louisville, and Eugene. We are educators—we know the value of research and we do our homework.

Teachers should absolutely be able to strike. It's the main form of market power workers have in our economy. Anything else is an unfair market distortion. No wonder teachers are so underpaid when they have no power to fight for fairer wages!

Andover Educators have sounded alarms for YEARS about this program and were ignored. The Andover School Committee needs to stop hiring overpaid corporate hacks and their consultant pals while students and families pay the price.

We are not pushing to keep children from in-person learning. Since July, we have advocated for a phased-in reopening that allows for students and staff alike to return to in-person learning.

Many spent the summer in professional development around teaching under these conditions. Some of it re: new tech. You seem to think teachers are awful—that’s unfortunate. We’d encourage you to work with us in trying to advocate for safe and effective education this year!

The Andover School Committee has been saying things like this for years. If the “Strategic Plan” is to destroy educator morale, they are succeeding.

We don’t think it’s pie in the sky to not want animal feces in classrooms, or managment to be transparent. We also don’t think it’s a wishlist item to want kids and staff in spaces where air is filtered and doesn’t enable a super spreader event. Other districts have done this.

Thanks for your feedback. Last spring was crisis management, not remote learning. No one would call it ideal. We are advocating for a phased-in reopening this year where in-person learning is the goal. We want students and staff to be safe, and meaningful education to take place.

Have you seen our proposal? We want transparency, agreed-upon health and safety protocols, and clarity around how this model will work. There aren’t even any publicly accessible analyses of the air quality in individual schools! We’re not the only ones with unanswered questions.

We all want a return to in-person learning, as it is undoubtedly ideal. We are opposed to rushing students and staff into buildings that haven’t been thoroughly evaluated with regard to Covid-19 health and safety protocols. People can be irreparably harmed or even die.

We are working remotely outside our buildings that have not been thoroughly, transparently evaluated for air quality. Porta potties and generators have been shut down. We have been told that we will not be paid despite working.

We’ve been trying since 7/21 when we first asked them to negotiate with us. They refuse to propose any sort of health and safety benchmarks. They will not even commit to maintenance of six feet in learning spaces! This has been ongoing—it didn’t start on Monday.

protocols will be enforced?

The buildings haven’t been properly prepared, and districts are going fully remote already because of outbreaks. Distorting our position to fit an anti-union narrative you like doesn’t change that reality. We want to go back, and the district hasn’t done its due diligence.

The Andover School Committee’s financial priorities are misguided. More money is being spent on non-student-facing management positions, meanwhile principals, teachers, and support staff are looking elsewhere. How is this good for students and our schools?

Not at all! We’re saying schools need to have well-thought out plans for health and safety that are clear and transparent. The potential for harm and “super spreader events” is real. Many districts have done this and involved their staff and the community with full transparency.

Students and educators don’t all live in Andover—it’s not a bubble. The rate in Andover is low, for sure, but we believe that looking at Essex County is a more reasonable lens. The School Committee has yet to make one counter proposal regarding these benchmarks.

We believe that many more things are involved in the equation, particularly the conditions of the school buildings which he refuses to be transparent about. North Andover, Brookline, Haverhill, and more have their staff doing PD remotely until air quality concerns are sorted out.

What about the screen time contradiction—is it only bad for mental health at home? This is a big, layered puzzle here for sure, and we’ve said before, you should come to a forum to talk to us and other parents. You seem to discount all we say as propaganda though 🤷♀️

There was supposed to be an independent evaluation of the HVAC systems (not the classrooms or inside of the buildings) completed by 9/4. That day came and went. We’re still waiting for the dates and results of the last commissioning and balancing of the systems.

Misleading school committee talking point. They *can* negotiate with multiple units simultaneously. Email is clearly referring to not being able to negotiate during the same negotiation session. The real talking point is they’ve not met with paras since November.

We want to work, we went to work, and we worked! No one would argue that in person learning is not ideal for all. We’re advocating for reasonable, scientifically supported health and safety benchmarks, and a meaningful inclusion of educators in the reopening process.
