Last week SDEA members finished voting on our We Can’t Wait bargaining platform. An overwhelming 98% percent of members voted YES to ratify the platform, which was built from bargaining input sessions at 160+ schools and programs and in collaboration with local and statewide coalitions. A platform with demands supported by union educators and our school communities is a platform that we can win! We will “sunshine” this platform at the January 28th SDUSD Board Meeting, which is the official notification that begins the bargaining process.
Final vote tally:
- 4448 total ballots submitted
- 4377 “Yes” votes
- 57 “No” votes
- 15 invalid ballots submitted (e.g., blank, both “Yes” and “No” checked)
