BEA Website Back up

Looks like the Bellevue Education Association's website is back online.  

Warning to anyone reading this - the union can tell you anything.  They are under no obligation to fairly represent what the district is offering.

And the district cannot say what they are offering, under penalty of labor law.

Too bad the union doesn't take the law to heart, in a similar fashion.

Bellevue Schools

So will they strike or will they return to the classrooms?  

Bellevue students, for the most part, have no idea that their school year is about to be upset.  The smart bet is on teachers to vote for a strike on September 1, keeping schools from opening on September 2.  Strikes are illegal, but it is more important to make a point.  

But that point will be limited since the state of Washington is in a severe budget shortage.  Money isn't there to keep paying the higher and higher extortion that the WEA is demanding.  In Bellevue, the union is asking for an 11% raise.  Ridiculous?  Of course.  Too bad the teachers aren't smart enough to see what nonsense their union is handing them.

So be prepared to have your student be at home on September 2.
