Middleton Teachers, School Board Battle Over Contract

Channel3000:

The Middleton teachers' union and school board continue to battle over the latest proposed contract.

The two sides met during a school board meeting on Monday and more than 50 people lined up to voice their concerns about the deal.

Many teachers said that they believe the contract takes away their collective bargaining rights by proposing non-negotiable changes, including the removal of "just cause for discipline."

"Bullies are not welcome on school yards or on the school boards. It is time you step up to the plate and only deal with fiscal changes. Don't play into politics going on throughout our state," said Madison resident Cami Jo Sanner.
