Manual High School is an absolute disaster. Morale is at rock bottom, chaos has supplanted organization, and discipline is out of control. This is precisely what happens when teachers (the professionals who have daily contact with our children) are left out of the "restructuring" process.
One of our first goals as union officers will be to rescue the teachers at Manual High School. We will survey the teachers to get a feel for exactly what the problems are; we will then take whatever actions are necessary / possible to help the teachers in the school get things turned around. If we must help the Manual teachers organize a vote of no confidence, we will absolutely do so.
Keep in mind, many (if not most) of our schools will end up having to restructure. We want to help ensure that what happened at Manual doesn't happen anywhere else in our district.
