High Tech High teachers are demanding action on their demands from the schools' charter management organization. MargaritoGPerez says sticking points include a third-party due process for teachers who are fired.
Parents and students join teachers at Jacobs High Tech High. San Diego, Calif., Nov. 1, 2022. A rally was held in support of the High Tech Education Collective teachers union demanding approval of their pending contract.
Almost 700 teachers and classified workers from 16 campuses around the county have been in negotiations with the Charter Management Organization since January. High Tech High is the largest charter school system in San Diego County.Both sides have agreed on a pay raise, but union members said they want due process for teachers who are fired using a third party arbitrator. Currently that power is held by the High Tech High interim CEO, Kaleb Rashad, and school leadership.
“We have given so much love and energy to our students and this community,” said Hayden Gore, the union's president. “What we are asking for is honor, recognition and rewards from the board of directors. Frankly, what we are advocating for is simple industry standard.” Marissa Eriksen brought her 7-year-old son, Andrew, to the rally. He is in second grade at the High Tech High Explorer Elementary.
