I was told that the last contract was negotiated without ever reading the fine print. The rank and file as it was put to me was just happy to see a raise. They never bothered to read the fine print which stated that ATRS would be terminated after being in excess for two years. Then someone decided to read the fine print and they noticed the termination clause. It was determined that ATRS could not be terminated due to tenure. A teacher with tenure could not be terminated. The next thing they sold us up the river on was the rotation. It was the unions opinion that the rotation was a better deal. I said for who and I was told I don't know. I was also told that no one knows what the negotiations are...except our President and he isn't talking.ATRdisgustedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906511462097221713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-70247737344084408912014-04-12T12:56:28.482-04:002014-04-12T12:56:28.482-04:00Great letter.

I'm sure she will not be contacting you since you make too much sense.<br /><br />Yes, and most of us agree with you about the ATR mess and what needs to be done about it. How about a buyout for the ones who don't want to teach in this system anymore?
