Dr. Garcia frequently asks MNEA officers to attend functions- and it's important for classroom teachers and professionals to be represented, not just a bunch of paper pushers. Dr. Garcia approved every one of these days of leave- in fact asked Mr. Huth to attend these functions. So where are your words for Dr. Garcia on this matter? And when Mrs. Nevill took the story to the Tennessean, where was her rebuke of the administrator who asked for and approved these leave days?<BR/><BR/>Some of the days were negotiations. Your negotiators, Mrs. Brooks, and you pay many of them $110,000 a year and more, asked to meet with the MNEA negotiations team DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. This tells you how much they are needed in their posts during working hours. Anyway, this team that is sooo educated, qualified, and necessary, didn't seem to be concerned that their request would take a classroom teacher away from his students. Perhaps their evenings are more important than Mr. Huth's.<BR/><BR/>But I'll be watching the next school board meeting for your rebuke of the central office and YOUR negotiators in this matter. Otherwise, it's just adversarial politics as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
