[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this does seem like a great way for the union to have common ground with parents, particularly the parents of kids with IEPs.  (And to my knowledge some of these parents are very very willing to push and push for what their kids need; so, an asset.)

DCPS sounds like it sucks wrt following the legal requirements of IEPs, with teachers and kids shafted in the process.

None of that is to say that teachers shouldn't push for higher pay.  Just that if a goal is to get more parents on board with WTU and to make DCPS your common enemy, this sounds like a beneficial area.[/quote]

I am a teacher and I completely agree.  DCPS is out of compliance with IDEA constantly and does not seem to care at all.  They choose to bloat central office instead of provide legally mandated resources to schools.[/quote]

WTU could advocate for each school to have an IEP Teacher (who has coverage responsibilities), a FT SN coordinator at each school with NO teaching responsibilities, or additional parent-school communication planning time (which can include implementing IEPs), or … additional pay for attending IEP meetings before or after school. Or a teacher training day could be changed into an IEP day. [/quote]
