Staunton City Council and Staunton City Schools have come to an understanding on how to fully fund the schools in this year’s budget, though work remains to help school staffs.
TAUNTON Tensions are high over the Taunton teacher s union s position that the school district should go remote as laid out in a memorandum of understanding agreed to by both the union and the district.
On Thursday, the Taunton Education Association (TEA) released a statement disputing Taunton City Council President Chris Coute s claim that their push to go remote despite evidence that this could lead to worsening learning deficits for students of color and low income students is tacitly racist. Councilor Coute’s comment is hurtful and untrue. We take great offense to it. The TEA is not a racist organization nor do we advocate for racist policies. We do the exact opposite, the union wrote in a statement.
