RELATED: What will first day of school be like, if there’s a strike?
“Dear Superintendent Corr, Dayton Public Schools Board of Education, and Mr. Romick,
“We understand Dayton Public Schools and local teachers are locked in tough negotiations. We also know that all sides, teachers, education professionals and the District, care deeply about the children of your community. There is no doubt that the educational experiences of the students suffer, even in short work stoppages, when strikes occur. With this in mind, we ask both parties to work together to resolve outstanding differences quickly and avoid a strike.”
