The comment by “Roose” is typical of union goons who would rob Floridians of their last dimes.
Public employees who strike should immediately lose their jobs and their union leadership should be jailed.
If they don’t like that, work for the private sector. There are plenty of private schools and day care centers.

Except during recess for your students, do not supervise students on school grounds, hallways, restrooms or the lunchroom unless you are paid to do so.

This should be very comforting to the guardians of the school children who attend Broward Co. Public Schools.
Start the layoffs…

Do not forget that BTUseless is in bed with the board. This was done many years ago and nothing was accomplished!

Remember that nothing will happen to Pat and the boys. They will continue to collect their large salaries, perks and double dipping. The teachers, students and parents continue to get screwed!
Get rid of BTUseless and the rest of the board for starters.

Most teachers became teachers to teach and enrich the lives of our future leaders. They are not stupid enough to listen to Pat SantMORON. He knows about working to the rule, he does as little possible to keep his high-paying job. WHOEVER IS HIS BOSS THEY NEED TO OUST PAT….He is not liked and they, the teachers deserve better representation.

“NEVER is it appropriate to refuse parent teacher conferences

NEVER is it appropriate to refuse to supervise or monitor children for safety.”

The district consistently cites these and many other things that they are expected to do in the regular course of running a school as “unfunded mandates”

People have you not been reading the papers, this website, amd Bob Norman? We have a school board more interested in enriching themselves than educating our kids! The only thing our ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD members have been focusing on is handing our fat contracts to campaign contributors! Teachers get screwed across the board and our reaction is those lazy #@$%’s get the summer off. Scream about BTU all you want, but these same teachers have our childrens futures in their hands and the thanks they get from their employer isn’t a bonus or stock options or a job for their spouse after they’ve voted a certain way on a construction or insurance contract. If the School Board was in the business of educating our kids BTU would be behaving badly on behalf of its members – the foundation of this problem is clearly with the school board and that’s who should be held accountable. This isn’t about raises or boundaries or portables – this is about children who are growing up in a country where a decent public education used to be a right, not a priveledge. Someone name one of these Jokers on the school board or our Superintendent who is interested in educating kids. The whole sustem is geared toward satisfying a group of corrupt elected officials from Notter to his area superitendents on down – let’s not be so stoooopid as to blame the teachers, they seems to be the only ones EARNING their money.

And Buddy, why are you no longer at the Sun Sentinel?
And.. Yes taxpayers have no more to give… but the School Board would it if quit wasting and got rid of the bloated staff at the Crystal Palace. Lots of programs that exist to justify their own existence….it is rampant there.
Not to mention the good ole boys
(Friends of Jim) who get rehired and retreaded into made up work
at high salaries. Buddy, do an article on that.

These BTU defenders above are trying to put a good face on an appalling lack of cconcern by the union for the students and parents.
Of course, work by the rule’s aim is to disrupt schools. Why else do it?
The writer who said there is something wrong with the contract is right. Rip the contract up and make it more like the private sector.

This is just outrageous. BTU loses credibility that the only problem in education is the SB. Instead, with this type of collective bargaining behavior, they should be thrown out. How a teacher could read this and think this is ok is beyond me?

NEVER is it appropriate to refuse parent teacher conferences

NEVER is it appropriate to refuse to supervise or monitor children for safety.

Teachers should demand an outing of who wrote and approved this strategy.
