Hi. I'm Drew Madigan and I am MAD AGAIN. Why? It seems like the District 26 Board of Education can't get their you-know-what together. Or, I should say, they refuse to get their you-know-what together.
We are in the midst of contract negotiations between the District and the Teachers union. The teachers have made concessions and they have come to the table now several times with offers. The district has not made any new offers, but have stuck to their original----in my opinion, unnecessarily harsh---offer. It seems to me that several on the board are willing to risk the start of school just to score some ideological political points. This is not Congress. This is not Wisconsin.
And, our children are not pawns in a game.
I couldn't stand it any longer. So I created this website.
You may not like what you see or read here. That's okay. These are my opinions, take it or leave it. Nothing personal, just someone who is sick of the the way things are being handled.
I just hope you read on and come to your own conclusions about what is happening in District 26. Then...go to a meeting and let THEM know.
More later.
Drew
If you're REALLY interested in the children, why aren't you complaining about the teachers going on strike for 20% raises..."for the children"...the union CONSTANTLY uses children as pawns in their greedy little game

ReplyDelete20% raise? Hmmm. What planet are you from? No where have the teacher's asked for a 20% raise. Try to get your facts straight before making such remarks.
Chris Jenner and Chris Spoerl have used their tea party agenda to destroy D26. It's painfully obvious. Chris Jenner will readily tell anyone who will listen that he is in favor of elimintaing public education. Well, he is succeeding in eliminating it rom Cary. Two schools closed, 1/3 of the staff fired, class sizes at unprescedented levels, test scores down dramatically, and moral in the toilet. A great big step towards eliminating public education alright. It's a good thing that he doesn't have any children who attend a district 26 school. Then maybe he might care.
ReplyDeleteHow about talking about the real numbers. If teachers get what their looking for, what will the numbers be? Revenue must equal spending, no more taxes or borrowing. You were better today, work on your BS. Robin Mohr
