Superintendent Message about Upcoming SPFE Strike Vote
I am writing to acknowledge the uncertainty that the possibility of a strike by the Saint Paul Federation of Educators (SPFE) is causing; and to assure you I and the District negotiating team are committed to reaching a fair and responsible contract settlement with SPFE. Our colleagues in SPFE have a very important vote this coming week. We encourage all SPFE members, Teachers, Educational Assistants and School and Community Service Professionals, to educate themselves on the proposals being discussed in mediation and participate by casting their vote. You can read about the proposals at www.spps.org/negotiations.
