Baltimore City school CEO Andres Alonso and other school officials are trying to trick or force 750 high seniority teachers to take an early retirement buyout package. They claim it’s because of a budget shortage. Of course there’s a budget shortage–they have been robbing the schools for years.
Some positions won’t be filled. Others would be filled with inexperienced teachers. Some parents immediately spoke out against it, expressing concern over possibly larger class sizes. Every school and the children would be deprived of the valuable expertise and classroom experience. One parent said, “City school students have suffered long enough because of strictly business decisions.”
That’s right–and why every student, teacher and parent has a reason to protest, to come out in force to back them down.
