As union leaders, we will meet with the presidents of PTO's. It's crucial for parents and teachers to form bonds, to work together to improve our schools. The PFT and the PTO's should work together to help transform our district.
The administrative "meetings with parents and community members" are often poorly-attended and tend leave too many parents with bad tastes in their mouths. Teachers and parents have daily contact with the children of District 150 -- they are the ones who are the experts not only on how things are, but also on how things need to be. Together, we need to ensure our voices are heard.
Certainly, parents and teachers will not agree on every issue. Often, though, some of the best new ideas come from intellectual disagreement.
We firmly believe that the effort to imporve our district must be a community effort, and we fully intend to work towards forming a productive, united front.
