Stop spending taxpayer dollars in your desperate effort to silence teachers and staff even as a budget crisis is closing down Philadelphia district schools. Put public education funds back in the classroom. Retire your lawyers and respect the law. Above all, respect your teachers. They are the most direct path to the children who need your help.
Why is this important?
As parents and teachers struggle to start a new year in Philadelphia’s crippled school system, we call on you, ASPIRA’s leaders, to stop spending taxpayer dollars in your effort to silence teachers and staff. ASPIRA teachers and staff deserve a respectful, professional and collaborative learning environment – the kind of work environment found in every high-performing school system in the world. This high standard can only be met when teachers have a voice and a seat at the table.
