Framingham superintendent Tremblay responds to teachers union s list of opening demands
FRAMINGHAM – Superintendent of Schools Robert Tremblay and the Framingham Teachers Association are at odds over the reopening of school.
The back-and-forth began on Monday, when Illana Wyner, the union s public relations chairwoman, released a letter to the superintendent and the School Committee that outlined a list of reopening demands. The list was decided upon during a Monday meeting. A majority of the 447 attendees supported the requests.
A slightly different letter was also sent to media outlets. That one included Google survey results on reopening that garnered 552 responses. Eighty-seven percent of respondents indicated that student learning is better in-person under typical conditions. But, 77% of respondents said that the level of COVID in the community was their greatest concern about returning to the building.
