Next I began think about the fate of the underperforming schools. It is known that the mayor and CPS is moving into the direction of Charter Schools so that parents and families can have choice in the schools their child attends while the city can eliminate the cost of running the public schools (Baltimore Sun, 2012). While I agree that reform is needed
They also, had to pay for uniforms, themselves, out of pocket. Another reason the police went on strike was that they tried to negotiate with the government, but nothing good came of it. With these factors, the tension mounted further and further, leaving the Boston Police Department with no other option but strike. If I was a Bostonian during this time I would and wouldn't have supported the BPD strike. It all depends on your perspective.
Maybe they should have asked him to trim his facial hair instead of shaving it, and they could have compromised between the two. The man seemed very cut out for the job and the employer knows that and still processed to ask him to shave is facial hair, if he wanted the job. I also feel that right when they saw the man applying for the job they probably did not look past his facial hair and did not really get to know the person behind the beard. The school also could get a lawsuit against them, and the consequences to that would be much more substantial, then what the school kid’s family’s thought of him and his facial hair. The man could go to the court system and fight for his position on his behalf of discriminating against him for the way he looks.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Spilman told the group that the Board rejected the four demands and that the selection of Zinser stood” (Gannon). When the student body learned that there conditions where rejected thing started to change within the group a bit. They where basically being told that what they wanted didn’t matter and just needed to suck it up and go home. They weren't buying it, and they didn’t believe that there was no way things could change. The next day[Tuesday] the protesters did release the main campus building but they still protested and boycotted their
Raises would vary, with some teachers potentially getting raises in the "late 20s (percent)," Carroll said, especially if they earn a graduate degree or more credits. CPS teachers on average earned $71,236 in 2011, state data show. Teacher ratings: A 2010 law required a new teacher evaluation system that judges teachers in part on their students' academic gains. Some reformers and lawyers believe that the new evaluations should never have been an issue in the strike, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pledging to go to court over the issue. The reforms, pushed by the Obama administration, have been controversial around the country, with some teachers saying the ratings based partly on student performance are unfair and could lead to the dismissal of thousands of teachers.
Schools have at least a hand full of teachers that really care about the students life after high school, some teachers make sure that there students go to college and some don’t even care what goes on when were out of there classroom. Many of these issues should be payed attention to before they get worser. I bet if you change some things that I asked for you will see some change in Chicago. From the community crime to the CPS system. Make more changes that will help the people and community not just yourself and other government people goods think about the
Miami School District Negotiation Paper MGT 445 – Organizational Negotiations February 9, 2012 Thomas Wilson Miami School District Negotiation Paper The Miami School District has started the process of rezoning students in their district due to increase in enrollment. To balance population students will be rezoned to schools that are under populated. Unfortunately, under this plan many students will not attend the present school. Rezoning the students is a good plan for the school district, but for the students involved could be overwhelming. Parents and guardians of the students attending the schools are not content with the plan and are objecting it.
23, Interim City Manager Mark Orme, told Kevin, the city staff has more research to do before it can give the information to the City Council, because they have the final say. In addition, the city would have to issue layoff notices by Sept. 3 to notify the nine firefighters that they are losing their jobs as of Sept. 20. However, unless there is a special meeting, the council is not likely to discuss the layoffs or approve the union's contract proposal until Sept. 11. He added, the council would need to have every piece of information to make a good decision for this community, Orme said. "This is not something that you guess
The major Board/Community debate was over how to address the disciplinary issues. While the Board looked to find innovative ways to address disciplinary concerns, many parents suggested that the district simply enforce the rules that were already on the books and tighten up in administering consequences. During my time in SLPS, the district did not have a detention or in school suspension plan, leaving schools with just suspensions and expulsions to use as consequences. But being an unaccredited district, school leaders and the Board realized that students had to be in the building to get as much instructional time as possible. Also, students themselves knew that during the standardized MAP tests, it was highly unlikely that they would be suspended or expelled for any infraction.
Are We Asking Too Much From Our Teachers? In August, Chicago teachers went on strikes. The teachers went on strike a day after they were given a nice pay raise. New teachers were being hired because the schools were now got to make the school day longer, meaning that teacher were going to have to work an extra 30mins, meaning a longer planning lesson. The article author Alex Kotlowitz say that union president Karen Lewis complain about the lack of air conditioning in schools and the new teacher evaluation system with the new teacher evaluation some teacher s would be laid off; many thought that this was unfair .
