'The reality is our schools are not safe.'
According to AEA President Pat Shipe, 99% of members said no to recommendations for a successor agreement.
Shipe pointed out there have been multiple large fights in schools this month and another incident in which one student stabbed another student in a bathroom at Firestone High School. Police said the injuries were not life-threatening. In a letter to APS employees earlier this month, Superintendent Christine Fowler Mack highlighted safety initiatives, including walk-through safety audits of all buildings, additional inspections to ensure door alarms and cameras are functional, an increased presence of a safety team where disruptions are more frequent, and the establishment of a Safety Advisory Council.
However, Shipe said approximately 30 teachers have reported being assaulted by students in buildings during the first few months of the school year.
