Madison Teachers Inc. demands virtual school to start year
Madison Teachers Inc. is demanding the Madison Metropolitan School District begin the 2020-21 school year virtually amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a press release Thursday, MTI asked district leadership to make five commitments:
All virtual learning for the first quarter of the school year and until health officials report zero new cases for 14 consecutive days
A larger operating referendum on the November ballot
Fund in-person safety supplies and protocols when return is possible
Assure all students have age-appropriate electronic devices and access to the internet prior to Sept. 1
Share leadership with employee representatives and the school community by “being transparent before making decisions on matters of significance.”
