All schools/principals DO get a budget for their individual school. So I can only posit a guess that they mean start the big district budget from the schools and work up from there??? 🛋️

November 12, 2025 at 12:52 AM
‪Quinton Robbins teamsters 322 organizer had hope last week after election - asking SB to stand on side of democracy. Fear they are pitting teachers against students. Teachers and students interests are one and the same. Disagrees with Kamras. Not pro worker or pro student 🛋️‬
November 12, 2025 at 12:50 AM

November 12, 2025 at 12:47 AM

‪Jim Smith Local 592 accurate pic since delayed vote. Initially singing off 2 different hymn books. In person meetings VERY productive and we compromised and agreed on document before you now. Anyone telling you otherwise wasn’t in the room. Compromise is fair and living doc 🛋️ ‬
November 12, 2025 at 12:34 AM
Angelica Perez educator feels discouraged by rushed timeline worked under Prince George Co MD very strong union. Fully fleshed out contract necessary that set boundaries. All questions addressed. School admin dictates experience. Vote no 🛋️

Jacob Helt REA board RHSA teacher asking for a not vote on CBA changes. Discussed GA bill vetoed by Governor more progressive. Says Spanberger has already promised to pass. Prudent to pause and delay any changes. 🛋️

Gwen Atwell from Richmond for all asking for a NO vote on the CBA changes. Compares this to what is happening on national level 🛋️

2nd solved issue is solving disputes a committee of 4, 2 from union 2 from admin and if not solved goes to SB. Estimate solves 90% of issues. 🛋️
November 11, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Collective bargaining resolution update from Kamras - essence of a compromise neither the unions or admin achieved everything they hoped for. Solved areas: breadth of topics and what qualifies as a topic settled on 10 discrete proposals. 🛋️
