affordable both break contract fair good
I think it's a good contract. I think it's fair to both sides. I think it's affordable to the taxpayers. I don't think this contract is going to break the bank.
community good helped members mentioned organize parents teachers
I told all the teachers to come down, and any members of the community that want to. A teacher mentioned (the idea of a rally) to me. I thought it would be a good idea. It just kind of spontaneously happened. Some parents have helped to organize it as well.
board district faith good meet negotiate
The district would have to negotiate with us. If the board isn't going to meet in good faith, there's no need even having a meeting.
good lots standing support whatever willing
It was a very good meeting. There's lots of support. We're standing by our offer. We're willing to do whatever we have to do.
language unresolved work
We just went through some of our unresolved language items. I think we got most of them resolved. We're going to work on it a little more (today).
district drive dump full money opinion personal petty state truck turned
My personal opinion is this isn't even about what the district can afford. It's turned into a personal and petty battle. I think if the state would drive a dump truck full of money to the administration building, they still wouldn't budge on the offer.
contract expecting point resolved work
We're expecting a contract (today). The association has pretty much made their point to me, they want this resolved (today) or there could be another work stoppage.
blow case truth
We'll be back. I don't blow smoke. I tell the truth. I don't think that's the case on their side.
decide falls fathom people progress tuesday wednesday works
If Tuesday works out, we'll come back Wednesday. If we don't make any progress and people decide to backtrack on ideas, there won't be a Wednesday meeting. I don't even want to fathom to think (what would happen) if it falls through.
bit mostly
I have a little bit of optimism, mostly hope. I don't want to go backward, I know that.
benefits cut district file tries
If the district tries to cut our benefits off again, we will file a lawsuit.
across days district percent picked sure
We were probably at about 35 percent across the district. I'm not real sure why the district picked these days to have school.
deal details looks might vote worked
We might have a deal done. It looks like we've worked out all of the details we can. So now we can vote on it.
months strike union wasting
The union wanted to go on strike two months ago. The association has been on my case. They feel we've been wasting time.
