St Tammany school board won’t approve new CBA with teachers union

Back in December the school board authorized the superintendent to negotiate a new CBA. They worked on it for 6 months. Presented to school board last night for ratification. They discuss in exec session then come out and vote it down 9-4.
They then say there will be no new CBA and they direct the superintendent to create an employee handbook using the CBA as a starting point.
Seems like the board no longer wants to have to negotiate with the union to change employee policies.
The weird thing is the superintendent response.
If I’m the superintendent this morning I updated my resume. Hard to believe there can be that big of a disconnect with his bosses (the school board). 6 months of work for nothing - after they told him to do that work.
No school system in LA is amazing, but St Tammany is one of the better ones.

That agreement had largely been negotiated over the past few months by Jabbia and Brant Osborn, president of the St. Tammany Federation of Teachers and School Employees. Before the board’s meeting, Jabbia had spoken highly of it. Jabbia said he was stunned when the board voted it down. "I've never seen the board not accept it, and I've never seen the union not ratify it," he said.

Oh boy...here come the teacher gripes while they enjoy their 3 month summer taxpayer funded vacation sipping Pina Coladas by the pool. Their griping falls on my deaf ears. Get back to work in 3 weeks and focus on your job and the kids. Don't be selfish.

I know not all teachers are paid over the summer. Their salary is only paid during school year for some.
We didn't share finances but my ex wife always complained of having no paycheck in the summer even I would propose vacations. Leaving me holding the bag.

I thought it was their choice. You can choose to have it over 12 months (at least for public school teachers). Think she played you.

Nearly every district will spread your pay out to 12 months. Honestly, I'd be shocked to find a district that doesn't. I believe your ex is a liar.

You have a choice to be paid 9 months or 12 months. The pay rate is the same so they are just spreading the pay out which seems to be a good plan.
Only teachers bitching about the Union are the shitty ones that need the protection.

What do you expect when you put a former principle (Jabbia) in charge of running a $450M business.
Clearly he didn't manage the CBA process or it would have never come to a vote if it didn't have the support to pass. This is management 101.

How much are they paid?

So STP schools are kicking the teachers union to the curb? Probably an overall positive.

My mother is on the school board. I'll see what I can find out.

Maybe he got backstabbed by a board that doesn’t care about its teachers

I have no idea what my wife makes. I don't see a penny of it.

You are correct. Most districts have went to issuing MacBooks or Chromebooks, so no textbooks are issued.
