Letter to the Editor - Support our teachers

Editor,

Teachers are not upset over the four-day school week not passing. They are upset because they feel like the school board and the administration have no respect for their professional input.

Comments about not wanting what’s best for the children’s education is untrue. I know 90 percent of the staff would not support a change they believe would negatively impact the students.

There was a committee put together to work on a school calendar. This calendar is not the one the committee worked on and wanted voted through. So much for their hard work and time.

I encourage people in our community to talk with a teacher and hear their point of view.

I believe every board member should go help in a classroom for a few days, then they may understand the stress our school educators are under.

I hope our community will support our teachers and staff.
