[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like if the fire department closed for the day because all the firefighters wanted to go to a Trump rally. It is so completely inappropriate. [/quote]

It speaks to a deep sense of entitlement among LAMB staff. [/quote]

Hardly. It speaks to their fear and concern for their students, coworkers, friends, family. [/quote]

To shut down a school because of a political grievance that's completely unrelated to the school is an abuse of power, an abuse of tax dollars and[b] it's also illegal in DC.[/b] [/quote]

This is my understanding as well. LAMB employees are District employees:

Code of the District of Columbia
§ 1–617.05. Strikes prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any District government employee or labor organization to participate in, authorize, or ratify a strike against the District.

LOL that does not apply to LAMB.

Ya’ll need to simmer down. [/quote]

Please explain why this doesn’t apply to LAMB. [/quote]

Charter school teachers aren’t considered government employees. [/quote]

Source please. [/quote]

A wiki page is not a source. Please cite the section of DC law that exempts LAMB teachers from the city's ban on public employees going on strike. [/quote]

The entities in DC that are granted charters to operate a public charter school are 501c3 nonprofits not government agencies. The School Reform Act in DC Code states "Nonprofit status of school. — A public charter school shall be organized under Chapter 4 of Title 29 and its sole purpose shall be the operation of the public charter school." Chapter 4 of Title 29 is the Nonprofit Corporations Act. Also, elsewhere in the School Reform Act it notes that the term “District of Columbia Government” does not include public charter schools.[/quote]
