IEA’s democratic process and the use of polling.
I haven’t had a chance to report on a meeting I attended Wednesday night with IEA Executive Director Audrey Soglin.
I got somewhat distracted by Bill “The Stalker” Velderman.
Soglin presented the IEA’s legislative reform package at a breakout session of a Region membership meeting. The IEA leadership is promoting this package as an alternative to the anti-union Performance Counts bill backed by Stand for Children, The Civic Committee of the Commercial Club and Advance Illinois.
The IEA package is also supported by the IFT and the Chicago Teachers Union.
I have discussed frequently the two proposals and why I am concerned about the concessions on tenure
