I wrote yesterday in this space that the Hamilton Southeastern Education Association (HSEA) posted on social media that Monday’s bargaining session with representatives of Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools did not go well, from HSEA’s point of view.  Teachers are being encouraged to attend the Wednesday night school board meeting wearing black to show support for the HSEA bargaining team.

HSEA is also urging teachers to speak at a public hearing slated for the Wednesday board session on the proposed charter school, that would be run by Opportunity Education.  HSEA is opposing the charter.

Tuesday evening, HSEA posted on social media a 3-page letter sent to each HSE School Board member raising concerns about the proposed charter school.  The exclusive bargaining unit for HSE teaching staff raise issues in the letter, such are loss of state funding for the up to 500 students that would eventually attend this school, whether money provided by the recent referendum would be funneled to the charter, and a long list of other issues.

You can read the entire letter sent to each school board member below:
