REA (teachers' union) statement, August 10
Our goal remains to avoid a strike and reach an agreement with our Board of Education that improves our student learning conditions and helps retain and attract excellent teachers. The REA voted on August 8th to authorize our bargaining team to issue a 10 day strike notice. What that means is that the REA's bargaining team, made up of 5 REA members, will decide when the strike notice will be issued. Once they issue that notice, a strike could occur after 10 calendar days.
