Teachers and staff from KIPP’s primary, elementary, middle and high school are organizing as KIPP Columbus Alliance for Charter Teachers and Staff.
KIPP Columbus charter schools teachers and staff are calling on their superintendent and board of directors to voluntarily recognize their union.
“When educators – the people who support students and families every day – have a seat at the table, things are better for everyone,” Zach Usmani, a social worker at KIPP Columbus Elementary School, said in a release announcing the union's formation. “Ensuring our voices are heard in decision-making will improve equity, build stronger schools, and attract and retain the best talent to teach our students.
Filing with NLRB begins the process of scheduling a secret ballot union election, which would happen if KIPP Columbus does not recognize the supermajority support by the signed union cards. KIPP Columbus received at least $15 million in public funding for the 2021-2022 school year, the union organizers noted.
