Boston teachers union finds fault with overhaul plan for 12 schools

April 13, 2010
Proposal would have teachers work extra hours for no additional pay
From The Boston Globe: The Boston Teachers Union has started galvanizing opposition to parts of Superintendent Carol R. Johnson’s plan to overhaul 12 underperforming schools, after she called for teachers to work dozens of additional hours without extra pay. Richard Stutman, the union’s president, called Johnson’s proposals "ugly" and "insulting," characterizing them as budget-cutting measures rather than innovative ideas to transform these schools.
