Re: SD61 board sees changes (Gazette, Nov. 21)
Peg Orcherton seems to express concern that the new board will consider teacherBԪַs needs rather than those of our students.
Perhaps this is why the board BԪַshakeupBԪַ actually occurred as the old board seemed to have insulated themselves from taking teachersBԪַ concerns into account.
For the record, teachersBԪַ concerns are the learning conditions of our students.
Hopefully the new trustees will have the fortitude to meet with individual teachers periodically, maybe stopping by on a Pro-D day for a conversation and to take the opportunity to see just how devoted teachers are to their students.
