Now that we have high school soccer we need support with getting the other sports up and running. A protest being organized and petitions to be signed if you head over to the FB page Reopen Sports RI. Please sign for the other kids.
If teachers unions don't want to teach in person, they also don't want to coach - and yes, those coaches are members of the teachers union so they won't coach either.
Sorry to say it, but no fall sports
A bit moot now -- but a few years ago when the union in my kid's district went to "work to rule" because they didn't have a signed final contract, the teacher coaches made an *exception* for coaching even with their union... one is it's a nice chunk of money and two the contract had a clause that if the union teachers were offered co-curricular positions but didn't fill them, the district could then advertise outside the union.
So they'd jam the kids up on writing letters of recommendation but backed off when it came to coaching!
