Tensions are high as the Akron Education Association release new details regarding an intent to strike from teachers next month.
It comes after months of frustration from teachers who have been complaining mainly about school safety and security.
“It’s devastating. We’ve been doing this for almost a year. AEA has been going to the negotiation table in good faith,” said Akron Education Association President, Pat Shipe. Vinson has an Akron Public Schools student who has been involved in what the letter describes as internal student aggression. “He is worried about his grades. He’s worried about going back to school and we are actively seeking counseling right now,” said Vinson.“At times he feels like he didn’t belong in the school, but that was something that was stressed by some teachers,” said Vinson.
