Chisholm is the only school district in Minnesota that hasn’t reached a 2017-19 contract agreement with its teachers.
If that’s not bad enough, the district declared an impasse and is trying to impose pay, benefits and working conditions teachers did not sign off on.
Let’s show our union family in Chisholm we have their backs! Chisholm teachers and school district officials are going into mediation Thursday, March 28, in hopes of reaching a fair and competitive settlement.
Wear red and send solidarity notes and selfies starting Wednesday, March 27, and Thursday, March 28. Post your pictures and notes to the Education Minnesota-Chisholm Facebook page or on Twitter with the hashtags #solidarity #chisholm.
Chisholm teachers deserve to feel respected and valued. It’s time for school district leaders to get back to the table and reach a settlement that keeps high-quality teachers and attracts new ones.
