I heard that AFT-UTNO got involved in a dispute at Einstein Charter School, but I’m not sure if I got all of the details. What happened at Einstein and what prompted the union to get involved?

Teachers and parents came to AFT-UTNO and shared serious concerns with us — concerns that centered on racial and ethnic tensions, administrative nepotism, and the unjustified firings of some teachers. Although they had tried to address their concerns with the principal and school director (a husband-and-wife team), teachers and parents did not receive a satisfactory response. AFT-UTNO agreed to support these teachers and parents by helping to bring these issues to the attention of Einstein’s governing board. The board at Einstein recognized the concerns and took swift action, including the reinstatement of the teachers — the board agreed that their firing was inappropriate. Thanks to AFT-UTNO’s willingness to back up the concerns of teachers and parents, the educational climate at Einstein has improved. We were proud to assist teachers and parents who felt they had nowhere else to turn. Sources Charles S. Clark, “Charter Schools,” CQ Researcher, a publication of Congressional Quarterly
