FADE . . . TO BLACK!

It seems that more teachers than anyone had a right to expect wore black to their Buyback sessions.   Every regional site was dominated by one color.   That means that the majority of the teachers in this district are beginning to wake up, and beginning to realize that they really can (and should) make their interests known.

Channel 30 seems to realize this is a story that won't go away:

DAY OF MOURNING

Colleagues:

It's 'ALL HANDS ON DECK' this Monday, Feb. 3rd.

FTA is strongly urging all members to dress in BLACK during our District 'Buy-Back', which as you probably know concerns the District's attempted roll-out of the CORE waiver. *

We are wearing BLACK, as a 'Day of Mourning' to express our disappointment with FUSD's treatment of teaching professionals.   Speaking as a colleague, I encourage all FTA members in the Bullard area to 'spread the word' among your colleagues:  it's time to stand up and be counted.

UPDATE:   THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN TEACHERS STAND TOGETHER!
