Collective bargaining lawsuit filed
District legal counsel was notified June 2 that Springfield NEA has filed a lawsuit against Springfield Public Schools related to collective bargaining. Legal counsel is in the process of reviewing the petition that was filed.
On May 26, the Springfield Board of Education approved three collective bargaining policies: HA, Negotiations with Employees; HPA, Employee Walkouts, Strikes and Other Disruptions; and HH, Teacher Negotiating Representatives. These policies empower Springfield teachers to make their own choice about whether they want to be represented by one organization, multiple organizations or no organization at all.
Policy HH, which identifies a process for conducting elections to allow teachers to choose how they want to be represented, is a policy used by at least 10 other school districts in Missouri.
As with all legal issues, we will await direction from district legal counsel before making any further comment.
