A great deal has been reported about the situation at Central Falls High School. The Superintendent of Schools has issued 88 termination letters at the high school - firing the entire teacher faculty - a move that is unprecedented in the United States and that threatens students just as they're showing improvement.
We felt it was important to get the rest of the story out regarding this unfortunate and unnecessary proposal.
We are the Central Falls Teachers Union, an affiliate of the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals. We represent the hard working, dedicated teachers at Central Falls High School. The proposal to fire these teachers does a grave disservice to their ongoing efforts to improve the lives of the students at Central Falls High School.
The Superintendent has attempted to portray the teachers as the problem at the High School. The facts speak differently ».
