School District Releases Final Contract Offer

On the School District Web site tonight in addition to the summary press announcement (read it here) available earlier today is a complete PDF of the final contract offer (download it here in PDF).

My hat is off to the district for making this available. It has all the information. People can now see exactly what was put on the table that nearly brought the teachers to strike and has resulted in us going to a fact finder.

On a seperate but related topic, in my opinion all district materials ought to be available online. There is no reason for people to have to make appointments to visit an office during the day or to pay a copy fee (if that still applies) to read public materials. They should be online. There is little cost and it is very easy to accomplish. Providing people with information is inherently good. I hope the district takes this approach with all materials so they don't have to send announcements home like the one I received today regading asbestos.
