Teachers are organizing to oppose the district's layoff & realignment policy, 2nd meeting with labor attorney Greg Corwin
Date: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 Time: 6:30 PM Place: First Congregational Church 500 - 8th Avenue SE "A group of 'realigned' MPS teachers have begun a class action lawsuit against the district with the goal of insisting that the district reverse the realignment or, at the very least, take a look at each individual realigned teacher's situation to determine if it is reasonable, practical and in the best educational interest of the students, to move them to their second license and on to a different school. We hope to have this take place before school begins. If any parents, students, teachers, principals or Mpls citizens are willing to write a brief statement and have it notarized (called an affidavit) about how they think this will impact their student/s, teachers, teaching teams, schools, entire school district, and/or the city of Mpls, you can do one of two things: 1) Show up between 7:30pm-8:30pm at First Congregational Church, 500 8th Av. S.E., Mpls. where the affidavit forms will be available for you to write your statements on and a notary will be there to notarize them OR 2)call Gregg Corwin's lawfirm at 952-544-7151 to get the affidavit form sent to you, you would have to get it notarized yourself and send it back (you could also go to the lawfirm directly in St. Louis Park get it all done there.) Thanks for considering this action." -- Polly Smull -Doug Mann, King Field www.educationright.com REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
