“There really is no point to other details because this is so outrageous,” Thornton said

The other details ARE the most important part of this debate. It is clear that the superintendent is not interested in sharing the whole truth with the public. Teacher contracts are much more than raises. The language in contracts is essential to ensure that students are receiving the best possible education. The other details ensure that classes are a reasonable size and that special education students are receiving the support that they require to be successful. The teachers are currently following the terms of the existing contract yet the administration has chosen to blatantly disregard the language regarding lay offs. The statement issued by Dr. Thorton just shows why the teachers of this district have a complete mistrust in the central administration.
