Strike Information Meetings
I originally posted a version this note on the Thornhill Families Facebook group page on Wednesday. However, I understand that not everyone at school is a member of that group, nor may check Facebook that often. So, in order to keep as many families at school informed on what's going on with the possible OUSD teacher strike...
I believe that in any situation, the best recourse is to get as much information as possible before reaching a conclusion on a matter. Thus, there will be two meetings next week that should provide more information about the possible strike.
Both meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 29, at St. John's Episcopal Church--the church adjacent to the parking lot that is off of Gouldin and where I am sure many of you have parked before. The first meeting will be held from 3:15-4 p.m., and the second meeting is scheduled for 5:30-6:15 p.m.
Ms. Formoso, one of our outstanding second-grade teachers, will be running the meeting and provide as many answers to your questions as possible. Other Thornhill staff members will be there, and Oakland teachers union members may also be in attendance.
Whatever information is brought up, let's all please remain civil and calm during these meetings.
