[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This decision seems more about money. The city is hemorrhaging money. To be able to start school early in August - they need to stop paying teachers ASAP. They work a 10-month year and there is no money to add more, even if teachers were able or willing to. Charter teachers are on one-year contracts. They have to sort that through before whacking 3 years off the school year. [/quote] They can’t stop paying teachers just because school ends early. Also, not all charters have one-year contracts. It doesn’t matter though because they are all at will employees and can be let go at any moment.[/quote] They’re negotiating with WTU. That’s why the start of next year is up in the air. And there is no $ to extend the 2020-21 school year beyond 180 days. The city has to find places to cut, not add (yes, even to the education budget).[/quote]
