What if there is a Strike?

Now that the strike vote has been taken, Anchorage schools could be hit by a teachers strike with as little as 72 hours notice.

No matter your personal feelings about the issues that have gotten us to this point,
As a PTA Leader you cannot take sides. Our members consist of Parents and Teachers as well as other community members. PTA peole are passinate, it is likely that all of your members have very strong feelings about the possibility of a strike.

PTAs must remember that the mission is about the best interests of the children. We must make sure that the children are safe, taken care of and ready to learn while this is all sorted out by the grown ups.

The link is to the updated Alaska PTA Strike Manual, In it you will find information to help you with situations you may be faced with in the face of this strike.
