All of those who were paying attention noticed that Kyle's Wayne Westland FOIA request came up with nothing. Just back and forth between teachers and other employees about school, the contract and the strike. Not exactly headline-generating material.
No conspiracy by the MEA to force the locals to strike, no secret agenda, no nothin.
And now, we hear that the WW contract was ratified by the Board last night. One board member said that he was voting for the contract reluctantly, as the union won everything.
Not exactly. They got a raise, class sizes got reduced a little, and they kept MESSA. But they're paying a bit more for health coverage than they did before and got a "letter of reprimand" in their permanent file.
This is how contract negotiation works: both sides talk and eventually they agree somewhere in the middle.
But Kyle fails to change anyone's mind. MESSA survives. All that time and trouble trying to butt in and nothing changes. I wonder how Kyle's secret financiers feel about their investment?
