Update: Our school board and superintendent have declined Superintendent Thurmond’s invitation to meet and have made it clear they have little interest in bargaining in good faith and in reopening our schools. Learn more here
After a third day of picketing at our schools, and then holding a massive protest and march in downtown Sacramento, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond has called for a negotiation session of all parties (see video below). Assuming this happens later today, it will be the first time in several years our district’s superintendent has actually participated in a bargaining session. As a member of the bargaining team, I’m particularly interested what happens.
Here are important tweets and photos from today’s events (you can see my past strike-related posts here):
