Screenshot of email from admin with text highlighted "access will be restricted to non-striking employees and substitutes."
During the #teacherStrike, schools will be in the lockdown mode made for preventing school shootings.
Curious what #union folks think of this. Seems to me locking out teachers isn't what lockdown is intended for.

Admin says lunch will be served, I wonder by who. Teamsters are definitely striking in solidarity. And they claim they didn't know about strike as recently as Monday.

My 200 students per class is a guess based on the disclosure of how many scabs they are hiring. And based on Hercules Middle, the school where I know teachers. Just to be clear. How it shakes out, we'll see!

And next time admin complains that they don't have money for teachers, remember that 12% of their budget goes to consultants, which is 2-3 times the amount of other schools in the region.
They have the money, they just want to spend it on the revolving door for their corporate friends.

Superintendent Cotton: "we offered a 3% salary increase—more than the State’s LCFF cost-of-living adjustment"
Sounds good until you know WCCUSD salaries have been the lowest in the region for over a decade.

You can read for yourself the negotiations, where the admin strikes every word of #union 's proposed contract except a concession to "increase class size for 4-6". Or they give no response at all.

Next she says students "deserve ... a learning environment where adults work together," as if striking teachers are petulant children. Reality: the only people willing to work in current conditions are doing unpaid overtime, buying their own supplies, etc.

Teacher at podium addressing school board
Karen VanWinkle Murphy at El Sobrante says her class has been 82° for seven days in a row. The law says services must be provided at 82°. "So where are my services?"

"West Contra Costa has larger class sizes than every red state."
Overheard at School Board meeting

The school board paused to take a photo so teachers started chanting again. 😁

Teachers at the #Richmond School Board rally chanting "fair contract now." Currently working with no contract... You think they'll hesitate to strike? 🤔
