Wasco Farmworkers, Bakersfield City School District to picket - By N.L. Belardes

From the glum burg blog:

bcsd school teachers, families, and their supporters will picket bcsd schools friday morning, mostly likely 15-30 mins before school starts. this would be anywhere from 7-8 am at most sites - just ask your child what time school starts. this is an informational picket to let parents know what has been going on:

teachers have been working without a contract since july, 2006 (due to unsettled contract items - especially the one described next)

the most debated contract item is TRANSFER RIGHTS. if BCSD gets to make the changes it wants, any teacher, from any school, at any grade level could potentially be moved without any reason given.

this means EVERYONE, even cozy and happy staffs at the top schools, or hard-working, united, making-gains staffs at some of the "bottom" schools. your favorite teachers would and could be moved, and they will, if these changes are made.
