Dear Dr. Steinhaus and Member of the Board,
Please table the discussion on Employee Speech for this meeting for the following reasons:
It is a badly written document; syntactical issues interfere with its coherence, which is a poor reflection on the district. Furthermore, it is difficult for us to understand the scope of its content.
Regardless of the intent, it contains contentious material that must be better vetted by legal experts.
Given the divisive national and local climate surrounding a variety of issues and given the weighty subjects also on the agenda, today is not the time to address constitutional issues.
This subject will only exacerbate already low teacher morale.
Thank you and sincerely,
Catherine Puranananda
