We the undersigned, support our Unit #4 teachers. Our teachers work long hours and go above and beyond to support students and their families every day. The requests from the teacher's union for higher wages, home visits, and smaller class sizes for primary grades will benefit everyone in this community. While we understand that finding the money in the district for these proposals will take some effort, we believe it is essential that our community continue to work to improve our public schools. We are fortunate to have hardworking, caring, and well-educated teachers. A teacher strike would be stressful and detrimental to students, families, and teachers in this community, academically, socially, financially, and emotionally, and we implore the administration keep this from occurring.
