I am sure you all are so well informed on the subject beyond what you read in the paper correct? You have been to the board meetings and know why the teachers are upset with the administration right? Yep, that's what I thought. There is so much more going on that is not reported by the Vindy. But, I'll let you all fight it out with your opinions based upon what you read on the internet. Because you know they can't put it on the net if it isn't true.
I'm sorry, I could have sworn I saw on the news this morning that included in the issues were also resources and classroom size.....yep, I did. RTS, we support our teachers in Austintown, sorry you don't support yours in whatever town you live in.
I don't feel misled at all RTS. I know what the issues were and what the BOE and Super were not negotiating on. I know what our teachers wanted and were fighting for. Do you? You probably don't even live in our town so how could you possibly know.
RTS, it is on the WKBN website. As for open enrollment form, that is a joke. There was supposed to be a screening for problem kids, that doesn't happen, there was supposed to be a limit of 200, that didn't happen.....the Super and BOE do whatever they want.
I agree uncommon, just stating that the problem is not with teacher wages.
The sticking point to the negotiation is not wages or healthcare contributions, it is classroom size and resources for the kids like books. I, for one, am happy that our teachers are not willing to compromise on the best things to provide an education to our kids. I support them 100%. The fact that the BOE and Super are unwilling or unable to compromise on what is best to teach our kids is unacceptable.
While they may think they are addressing the problem in the schools, the bullying is out of control because some of the kids are out of control. It also needs to start in the classroom. The teachers need to report it and handle it, not just see it and ignore it and expect the principals to handle it after it has already caused damage to the kid.
New downtown bar to be like a ‘street festival’
This reminds me of some of the best summer hot spots in Chicago. I hope it works out and they have the Indians game on all TVs. Good luck Ryan Reese!

RTS, if you have been following this, you would know that those are the sticking issues. Just because you don't want to believe it is not my problem.

Austintown BOE addresses bullying, teachers contracts
While they may think they are addressing the problem in the schools, the bullying is out of control because some of the kids are out of control. It also needs to start in the classroom. The teachers need to report it and handle it, not just see it and ignore it and expect the principals to handle it after it has already caused damage to the kid.
