The Fordham Institute recently published an article ranking the Collective Bargaining Agreements of all Ohio schools based on their oppression and restrictiveness. Proudly, your TFT Contract was ranked #1 in this research. The rankings were based on the number of times that the terms "shall" or "will" were used. These terms are contained 2,836 times in the teacher contract, with a grand total of 6,848 times across all contracts within the bargaining units. It was stated that each used of these terms in a contact could be interpreted as a means of restricting managerial decision making. The article goes on to say that, "binding the hands of public-school leaders in this way undermines their ability to meet the varied and evolving needs of students". TFT believes that its members know what is best for students and work each day to provide a quality education. Each of you should be proud of the contract that TFT members past and present have fought so hard to create and enforce. All of those "shalls" and "wills" have worked to solidify the working conditions of TFT members as well as the learning conditions of their students.
