Teachers in Columbus, Ohio, home to the state’s largest school district, went on strike Monday over smaller class sizes and building safety demands after bargaining negotiations with the school board stalled.




This is going to be a mess for the parents and students.

Well, at least kids in that area won't be getting diddled.

Big Ten city. The docs at tOSU are probably picking up the slack for them.

The most striking thing in that photo is the level of obesity.

i'm guessing they don't want to teach in class anymore because of that deadly virus?

I know the OT hates on some teachers, but it’s pretty fricked up if one of the demands not being met is A/C.

I’m right there on class sizes though. When I left the school district here there classes with 35:1 teacher ratios.

The union said the school board walked away from the bargaining table on July 28 and has refused to agree to language in a contract that “will guarantee Columbus students basics like air conditioning, appropriate class sizes, and full-time art, music, and P.E. teachers in elementary schools.”

How do you guarantee class sizes? Are they going to deny a certain amount of children from going to school?

They probably want guarantees of hiring more teachers if classes get over a certain size.

Problem with that is that you won’t have enough classrooms at a point, especially if they are doing clown car schools for whatever reason.

If this is true, looks like the school board tried to call their bluff and its going to bite them hard

I'm looking at their organization chart on the district website:

Superintendent/CEO
Treasurer/CFO
Exec Director, Budget and Financial Management
Deputy Sup, Admin
Chief Academic Officer
Chief Transformation and Leadership Officer
Chief Accountability Officer
Chief Engagement Officer
Chief Communications Officer
Chief Equity Officer
Chief Operations Officer
Chief of Staff
General Counsel
Chief Human Resources Officer
Chief Information Officer
6 different Area Superintendents
Another 8 Exec Directors

I'd love to shadow some of these people for a day
