Saturday 1

I wondered if all teachers are trained when they sit on a union negotiating team. It seems pretty important to have the background that we do now. I can't imagine being a key member of a team without having the experiential training that this course will give us.
When Dr. Closen sent around the financial profile, I was reminded how closely tied this collective bargaining process is with the experiences we had in the finance class, especially the forecasting and spreadsheets. Superintendents really need to have all those kinds of things up to date before this process begins. I wouldn't want to be the superintendent who doesn't have those things and has to put them together in short notice for the union.
