Get your act together. Get yourselves to the negotiating table with an offer that accommodates the needs of our teachers, our ESPs, and our students. You are embarrassing the city and the state with your antics, and children and families are suffering due to your inaction and stonewalling.
Our schools need more, and you are the stewards of education in our community. Mr Graff, you and other Very Serious People keep saying, "we support the teachers' goals, but there is no money."
I would like to see evidence of the first part of this sentence.
If you support the teachers' goals, then please prove it -- go walk the picket line, and lobby the city and the state for more funding to do the right thing.
As a lifelong resident of Minneapolis, I know we can do better. As a parent of an MPS student, I know we must.
