AECI Board of Trustees: Let teachers focus on students
Please help Bronx charter school teachers and staff build a stable and successful school by demanding the New York City Charter High School for Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industries (AECI) Board of Trustees negotiate a fair contract now.
Why is this important?
Four years ago our colleagues formed a union to provide a positive and stable learning environment for our students. They came together, just as we stand together now, for teacher voice at AECI.
A contract will bring stability to our school community while at the same time enshrining what works at AECI and developing a framework to fix any concerns that may arise. A contract can create transparency and equity. The due process piece represents an important structure to implement all aspects of the contract.
It has been a long road but we remain united in our goals to achieve fair pay and benefits, and a due process structure to maintain our rights.
Please help support our school and our students. Let us focus on educating free from distraction and with a contract in place. When AECI's faculty has a voice, we can create a better learning environment for everyone. Please help us grow as educators with our students so we can build the best school possible together.
