Escalating violence inside the schools in the form of teacher assaults, loaded guns, stabbing, and fights have become the number one sticking point, the Akron Education Association President said.
AKRON, Ohio - The Akron Education Association issued a 10-day notice to the school district on Wednesday threatening a strike that could begin on Jan. 9.
Escalating violence inside the schools in the form of teacher assaults, loaded guns, stabbing, and fights have become the number one sticking point, according to Akron Education Association President Patricia Shipe. Shipe accused the superintendent and the school district of wanting to weaken the language when it comes to how teacher assaults are reported, “Unless the teacher is severely injured, having to go to a hospital and in need of first aid, the district believes it’s not an assault, because the numbers look bad.”
