We were notified by the Fact-Finding Neutral that due to the complexity of the issues, he will not have a report ready until the end of March or first week in April. We had anticipated having a fact-finding report by this week. But with this news, it is clear that we will not be "strike legal" on March 24, and must postpone our one-day strike. The Executive Board met tonight, March 8, and set a date of April 22 for our strike. Let’s use this time to keep organizing, hold house meetings, keep the pressure on, build on the momentum from March 4!
What an amazing day! Keep sending your stories and pictures — and also post them to www.standupforschools.org, too, as some of you have already done. It was truly inspiring to see and to hear about all the creative activities you did with your students!
