[Durham Association of Educators @DurhamEducators]

We did not call for a Day of Protest tomorrow (2/9). We do not know why district administration has decided to close schools for students tomorrow.

Along with the rest of the Durham community, we eagerly await clarity from central office on exactly why this decision was made.

[Liz Schlemmer @LSchlemmer_WUNC]

I have confirmation from @ncae that @DurhamEducators (DAE) did not call a day of protest for at #DPS tomorrow, Feb 9:

"We do not know why district administration has decided to close schools for students tomorrow."

[Liz Schlemmer @LSchlemmer_WUNC]

DAE @DurhamEducators says a majority of educators will be out at 7 schools tomorrow in @DurhamPublicSch #DPS

[Durham Association of Educators @DurhamEducators]

The staff at the specific schools participating in tomorrow’s Day of Protest already know who they are. That list of schools will be out by 3PM. #ncED

[Durham Association of Educators @DurhamEducators]

What we do know is that neither option will fully address the staffing crisis.

We will continue to emphasize loudly and clearly that DPS staff need and deserve a seat at the table, through our union, to address issues like this one moving forward.

[Durham Association of Educators @DurhamEducators]

Update: Late on Wednesday, DPS provided five options for what to do with the classified pay scale moving forward. The administration recommended two options to the school board. We know the Durham Board of Education plans to consider options during their Friday meeting.

Two days does not give DAE and other school staff enough time to review and provide feedback to the district. The slides provided don’t communicate how much each option costs and why some are considered feasible and others aren’t.

Sandwiches/packed lunches needed at Staff Development Center! This will help feed DPS students and families affected by staffing shortages.

We will be offering pick up of groceries and lunches to fill as many gaps as possible. Drop off and pick up will be 10a-2p at SDC. #ncED

Today was powerful.

105 classified staff members from across DPS spent part of their Saturday coming together and building our union. #ncED #1u

I support my momma who is a classifed employee of #DPS and ALL of the classified employees! @ncae #nced

[UE150, NC Public Service Workers Union @UE150Union]

Powerful to join @DurhamEducators last night as they won $4.5 mill so workers don’t have to pay back raises from July-Jan. We’re with you all the way to pressure @DurhamPublicSch to maintain pay levels & give you a seat at the table! https://t.co/ftEaF5XsUA

[Durham Workers Assembly @DurhamWorkers]

Salute to @DurhamEducators for winning 2 of their demands @DurhamPublicSch after a week of sick outs & hundreds rallying last night.

They won $4.5 Mil so workers don’t have to pay back money from July-Jan, but no news on pay moving forward https://t.co/cZ9hYSNBXP

[Durham Association of Educators @DurhamEducators]

It’s time for Durham to lead the state. @DurhamPublicSch

[Alison S @aspiper]

If North Carolina is going to overturn its Jim Crow-era law against collective bargaining, it’s gonna start right here with your Durham Public Schools employees. Massive rally outside the board meeting tonight. #united
