On the eve of 28 additional schools reopening in Boston for students with the highest needs, the Boston Teachers Union passed a vote of no confidence in Superintendent Brenda Cassellius.
The vote, which was supported by 97.5 percent of members during an emergency meeting Sunday, came as city educators say Cassellius has not agreed to the same “equal and uniform safety provisions” for the newly reopened schools as the four that reopened to in-person learning back in November, according to a press release from the union.
That didn’t mean, however, that educators planned not to show up for work staff said they would be in the schools come Monday morning.
