“We are all concerned with the idea of returning to school in the fall. Please be assured that we are sharing your concerns with the district. In addition, we are in contact with CTA legal to address the many issues regarding the safety of coming back to work. We are currently working to verify the district meets current legislation and have sent emails to confirm precautions be put in place for any contingency plans that they may choose to put in place. Any issues that are negotiable will be taken to the table. All concerns and questions are taken very seriously and will be addressed as we move forward. We will not agree to any unsafe working conditions.

Together,

J”

All your input is anonymous.I’ve started a Google Sheet for us to compile and share questions and concerns. This is an attempt to get us talking and sharing. While we may have differences of opinion about how to open in the fall, this list is meant to help us identify what we need to address so we can all get back safely and productively. Please adhere to the following so we can make this a productive endeavor:

A message from John Minkus HDTA president:

I know many of you watched today’s board meeting. I understand that it is frustrating to watch the board’s actions or lack thereof. The reality is that nothing is set in stone and we are at the mercy of what the state agencies require/permit. We have had a voice in the discussions regarding start-up yet today’s presentation had some modifications to which the committee did not discuss. Everything is changing on a daily basis and we continue to be involved in the process. We will demand to bargain all items that are within the purview of our contract.

Together,J
