Is This Any Way to Run a City’s Schools?
Leaked CTU Proposals Won’t Do Anything to Improve Schools’ Poor Performance
Parents with children attending El Marino Language School in Culver City, California are up in arms, as a local union wants to force the unionization parent volunteers at the local public schools. Parents have formed non-profit booster clubs to fundraise for and hire part-time teacher’s helpers, who also mostly come from the ranks of the parents themselves. But that is unacceptable for the union activists of the Culver City Association of Classified Employees.
The union wants the parents to continue to fundraise, but to send the funds directly to the school district so the district can then hire union employees to fill the part-time positions.
