Dear Colleagues,
I hope everyone is well rested for the new school year and, by this point, know what you are teaching and where.
We welcome several new hires to our ranks, many with experience. I have pasted a list below of what I have, so please go out of your way to help these new colleagues find get started in CHUH. Many other people have moved between buildings. Please extend the same courtesy to them in getting acclimated.
Over the summer one of the things that we worked on was to establish a new ancillary position at all levels for supervising the Alternative Learning Centers (use to be Environments). The administration is working to fill these positions at each building. Like security monitors and media ancillaries, they are our members, but do not require a teaching license. One of our motivations for working with administration to create these positions and allow them to be non-licensed was to create a place in elementary schools where students could be sent to de-escalate instead of having kids sit in the office. We believe that, if this is implemented well, with the right people in position, then it will help the climate in our buildings. It is new so I am sure there will be bumps in the road, but hope that it works out as intended. This also allowed us to bargain for the return of members who were laid off last year for one year.
Please be in contact with your building steward if you have building concerns at this point in the year.
In Union,
Ari Klein
CHTU President
