Will city teachers start yet another school year without a contract?

@ Mike, I've been asking the same question on these boards for awhile. I'd really like to know more about the "cutting edge" contract BCPSS is negotiating.... it makes me very concerned.
For the record, I hope Dr. Alonzo realizes that by linking teacher pay/evaluations with student outcomes, it simply will make it harder to find staff willing to teach in the city's most struggling schools (where they need good teachers the most!).

What's going on with BTU and our contract? Can't find updates anywhere... Interesting how they keep taking dues from our checks without bothering to tell us anything that they do; other then plan useless cruises of course!

DC got a cutting edge contract that tied in teacher evaluation. Now they are concerned that so many go FIRED...
I guess that is why it is CUTTING edge.
