NICK BACON SPEAKS AT EXECUTIVE BOARD ON PRINCIALS IN NEED OF IMPROVEMENT

Yesterday's UFT Executive Board Minutes, written by New Action's Nick Bacon, a chapter leader in Manhattan who is running with United for Change for the High School Executive Board. He addressed the Board.

Nick Bacon (open mic): Seeks support from and consultation with UFT leadership for his school. Speaks on the need for a robust PINI program and organizing committee, so that schools in need can rely on a real targeted response from the UFT when chapter organizing or district/borough conversations fall short. This is important for morale in chapters that have done everything but seen no results. If we do the work to build–really rebuild–our city-wide organizing infrastructure, we can co-organize with schools in need and show solidarity. Says he would sign up to picket with another school in need any day, and knows other members across the city would do the same. Also speaks on the importance of giving real say to teachers in the C30 process to prevent foreseeable issues. Thanks executive board for hosting him.

Leroy Barr: Thanks Bacon for coming and notes that staff will be in contact for next steps for school issues.

Vindictive principals are the worst part of the doe.

I was an ATR and saw crap schools with fair principals and guess what? Morale was okay.

I saw schools that were screened schools with awful leadership and guess what? Morale sucked.

There were roughly as many Covid deaths yesterday as there were daily during April of 2020. The science and metrics haven’t changed. Only the politics have.

11:14 - in other words, you're never satisfied. If they insist on keeping the masks you complain and say it's authoritarian. If they listen to the people, take a chance and say it's optional, you complain. Are you ever happy with anything?
