“The BOE made a good decision in appointing Dr. Peluso to serve as interim superintendent. We look forward to working with him to resolve the stalled negotiations, stabilize the District, and increase the chances for a smooth reopening of schools." Adam Urbanski/RTA President
The teachers' union says at the start of last year 100 teachers retired & 187 teachers resigned.
"Left not the teaching profession but left our district," Urbanski said. "And the overwhelming majority of them went to suburban districts."

"You have a shortage of workers and you have spiraling inflation. If you want to remain competitive, you have to factor that in,” Urbanski said. “That's what we're asking our district to do in negotiations, and they seem oblivious to it.”

Adam Urbanski says that it's possible the Rochester City School District will not open schools in a conventional fashion this fall, because of a shortage of teachers. He says there is a good chance students will be in merged & combined classes for at least a portion of the year.
Kathleen Black announced that half of all RCSD’s teachers do not prepare lesson plans, do not have high expectations for students, and do not teach effectively. She presented no evidence to support her outrageous allegations.
“We don't have sufficient confidence in how they construct the budget to take it on their word. One of our responsibilities is to serve as a system of checks and balances" Urbanski said
