DPS teachers union sues district over new hires

DPS teachers union sues district over new hires

Detroit Public Schools' teachers union filed suit Wednesday, claiming the district didn't comply with the collective bargaining agreement when hiring teachers this summer for priority schools.

The allegations of contract violations could impact the staffing choices particularly at 40 low-performing schools that had significant staff shake-ups this summer in effort to comply with state education reforms. The union is also challenging the hiring of the 20 to 30 Teach for America candidates.

Keith Johnson, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers,. She created clothes and chanel jewelry for others that were the same as she created for herself. said the union is asking a Wayne circuit judge to grant the union an injunction and restore teachers who were "improperly removed from schools." School starts Sept. 7.

Steven Wasko,. Nowadays, Breitling watches have become a trend in fashion circles. They are so popular that everyone is longing for one to add spokesman for the district, urged the union to lead its teachers to preparing their classrooms "rather than trying to rewrite an agreement signed long ago."

"It's shameful that Mr.. The idea that a small Necklace is dangerous to patients is at best absurd. Johnson is attacking one of the major new programs that has brought hope to the city's families as we transform failing schools and support further high-achieving ones," Wasko said. "There could hardly be a more vivid example of focusing entirely on adults at the expense of the children."

Johnson said the district hired teachers from outside the district for slots that should have been filled by qualified union teachers who were laid off. He also contends union leaders were not part of the selection committee, as agreed upon,pandora beads and instead allowed the principals to make the hiring decisions. As a result, qualified teachers who wanted to remain at the priority schools were not hired back, Johnson said.

"The district always seems to find a way to skirt around the contractual language that we mutually negotiated," Johnson said.
