I would appreciate it if you could please post my personal comments below as a letter to the editor in Uptown Messenger as soon as possible. There is a lot of misinformation, partial truth and fear mongering out there. It is a difficult issue under the best of circumstances. We need facts, not fantasy,for our teachers to make the right decision. Mr. Robbie Evans, the vice president of the board that governs the Choice Foundation, a three-school charter network in New Orleans, recently urged the Lusher Charter School teachers to vote against their fellow teachers' efforts to unionize, calling union as "an impediment to charter schools' progress." (The Advocate, Monday, May 9, 2016 p. 18) He also commented about "union-created deadlock where only ineffective and possibly abusive teachers would benefit," pointing to the infamous "rubber rooms" associated with New York public schools —"temporary reassignment centers where union-represented teachers accused of misconduct or incompetency have been sent while they await rulings from independent arbitrators." (Id.) Mr. Evans' comments are not only outdated but also completely inapplicable to the unionization efforts at Lusher. A more salient example contradicting Mr. Evans's comments is the Ben Franklin High School union. Ben Frank High School's governing board voluntarily recognized its faculty's petition in May 2014. Ben Franklin's unionized teachers and its administration concluded their negotiations of a collective bargaining agreement in March 2015. I studied the agreement caretully and talked to the people involved with the negotiation. I believe that the Franklin agreement struck the right balance between the teachers' concerns and the administration's interests to ensure quality performance. Multiple people from both sides have described the agreement as fair. It is simply wrong for Mr. Evans to assume without any attention to reality that unionization alone would result in protecting "ineffective and possibly abusive teachers." Recently, US News and World Report released its annual rankings of high schools. Ben Franklin is now ranked 53rd nationwide, moving up by 27 steps from its last ranking. While that is no solid proof that the unionization contributed to the improvement, this certainly shows that unionization alone does not lead to a race to the bottom. In an email to Ben Franklin alumni after the Ben Franklin Board voted to voluntarily recognize the petition, Mr. Duris Holmes, who was the president of the Ben Franklin Board at that time, pointed out that Ben Franklin had been a unionized school for most of its history. "This fact did not degrade the quality of instruction at the school then or the achievements of its students. There is no reason to believe that a unionized faculty at Franklin now will in any way hurt the school," continued Mr. Holmes. Now that Ben Franklin has blazed the trail, Lusher can learn from the Ben Franklin experience and make an agreement better for Lusher. If the Lusher teachers vote to recognize the union as a collective bargaining unit under the National Labor Relations Board supervised election on May 17, the Lusher administration and the Lusher teachers will sit together and negotiate an agreement,just like their peers at Ben Franklin. During this contract negotiation process, the Lusher administration does not have to agree to any terms that it feels would compromise the Lusher excellence. This is absolutely no reason to assume that the Lusher teachers who desire a voice at the bargaining table would try to do anything to compromise the Lusher excellence. The Lusher administration is certainly not obligated to agree to any terms that would create the "rubber rooms" problem, a practice that supposedly ended in 2010 according to the Advocate article. I am confident that, working together collaboratively as a team,the Lusher administrators and the teachers can come up with an agreement that will ensure Lusher's long term quality academic standards and bring the best out of Lusher's already excellent faculty.

What is troubling to me is that Chunlin has been arguing a position of neutrality and admonishing the board, administration and non-union folks for expressing their views...but privately seeking audiences with members of the community encouraging a pro-union position. I wanted to share this info with you all- and certainly allow you all to form your own opinion...but I trust Greg.

If you have received any information about my "position and background", I would lave an ooporbloity to rebut any accusations before you conclude that I was being "disingenuous with you. I cherished my discussions with you and truly enjoyed meeting you that day. I I understand that this issue is polarizing and reasonable good people can disagree. I have expressed my position publicly because I truly believe (and still do)that the cost for not voluntarily recognizing union is too high and may cause lasting damage to the Lusher institution. I also don't believe that it is a wise use of public resources to resist unionization because of the teachers' desire to have a voice in the management decision. The teachers who petitioned for recognition are some of the best teachers that Lusher has. respect your opinion to disagree with me if we truly disagree with each other, but will defend against any accusation that I have any ulterior motives other than to serve the best interest of Lusher, as I am obligated to do as a member of the Board. Finally, I would hate to see our students being deprived of the wonderful opportunity that your family has been so generously giving to our Serbian stidents. I would hope that you and your family would be able to find ii within your hearts to tolerate our differences in opinion :•nd continue your support of our Serbian students despite our differences. Our legitimate differences make us all stronger as a country.

In their anger, this person said many things I am sure they wish they had not. The main gist though, and why I share this w you all, was that, "Kathy has to go". This was repeated several times, and I was told was a main motivator in unionizing. I share this because I believe we are being naive if we think otherwise. I do not believe that Paul's request to Blaine was anything resembling a coup. I cannot begin to fathom the numbers of hours that Blaine has dedicated to the board, nor can I imagine how many nights of sleep have been lost for the sake of the school. Blaine has been a tremendous leader for many years. However, we are at a stage where the obvious rift between Blaine & Kathy is palpable. I do not suggest that one side or the other is responsible for this, but I feel the current situation & the adversarial relationship can only do further damage to our school. At a time when we need to come together as a board & as a community, two of our most important leaders are unwilling to yield. The climate is toxic & it bothers me deeply.... I am unable to meet any time this week. I do not think that the board should take a pro-union stance. If I understand, Chunlin's desire to voluntarily recognize the union, was driven by fiduciary responsibility. It seems to me then, that at this point (NLRB filings aside) that the financially prudent route would be anti-union. We have heard much about the high costs of contract negotiations. So, if money is the motivator, I would think that we should not want a union. I, however, prefer to remain neutral & truly get a gauge of what our teachers want. I hope that you can take my views in to account when meeting this week.

I agree that Blaine has worked diligently and effectively for Lusher. Nothing in my email suggests otherwise. I also reject Carol's characterization that my email was an attempt for a coup. My email simply made a suggestion to Blaine rather than some type of demand. While Blaine and I disagree about many things at this point, my email is not because of some personal animosity. I simply articulated my belief that Blaine and Kathy can no longer work together effectively. It is, in my mind, given that relationship, that the Lusher will be best served if there is a new president of the board. I am in no way suggesting that Blaine should resign from the board. In fact, I would be strongly opposed to such an idea. I simply think that another member of the board could better create a relationship that must exist between a board chair and the CEO of an organization. This is my view, but if neither Blaine nor the board wants to address this issue, that is their choice.

As entered the library this morning around 7:40, I noticed I was the only person who had arrived who was not wearing a UTL button. There were about 5-10 people there already spread out, sle,ndind up and talking. I said hello and made my way to the second row. The seat on the aisle was taken(someone had put their keys on it, so I started to sit down at the next seat. As was sitting down, Ms. Gray body checked me, using her hips to push me iota another seat. She put her arm around my back, pressed her hips and legs against my own, and put her face within 2 inches of mine and said,"There's going to be a lot of us coming." Shocked and completely at a loss for words at being pushed out: of the way so forcefully, ali I could manage to say was,"This is weird." St shoving her face in my own,she replied, "There's been a lot of weird things happening lately." My hands were literally shaking. I have never felt so unwelcome or so unsafe at Lusher in my 5 years here. Ms. Gray finally left the seat next to me once Erica Hahne entered the room and seemed to be going for the front row. Ms. Gray leapt up and sprawled herself across the front row. I felt you should be made aware of this incident. If there is anyone else you feel should also be made aware, please let me know. Best.

I'm not advocating for one or the other. But I do think we have to meet and confront the issue for the reasons articulated by Reuben. Contentious public meetings come with the territory of being on a public Board. The discomfort of such meetings is no reason to not do our job. Indeed, the rancor will increase exponentially when we are perceived as running from our responsibilities. Blaine All, as you are aware, have somewhat purposefully and intentionally stayed out of the debate of whether or not to have a meeting Saturday. However, I do want to be clear that I do not agree with having a meeting Saturday, I can not understand why the Union would be so unwilling to give us the time to fully vet the issues, or why our decision making process, in some measure, should be dictated by the Union, if this is any indication of how they will behave..,then I can only imagine what the CBA negotiations will be like. If indeed they want to petition the NLRB,absent a vote of the board, then by all means they should. Rueben, clearly there is a divide among the teachers,..why would we not want to encourage a ballot vote of the teachers decide? Frankly, one could reasonably argue that our responsibility as a board is not to accept a petition based on the information or lack thereof received. I believe meeting Saturday will not only raise the rancor, increase the already high levels of anxiety among the teachers(both sides), solve no issues— but will leave us, unbearably, as the uninformed endorsers of one side's views over another amongst our teacher community.

We donil have to address the petition Saturday, there is nothing stopping us from considering it at a later date. If the union won't wait, that is not us not respecting someone. its the union not allowing us time to make measured decisions. We don't even have a meeting scheduled for our parents yet and their views need to be considered. I least I believe they do. I need time to think about this and to consider all of the information we gather. I don't think a few days is enough.

If there was correspondence from her, I would like to know as well. All I see no reason to respond to the timeline imposed upon us. It is not a lack of governance. A delay would provide time for our very concerned teachers to gather more information on how this change might effect them. Sitting across the table from teachers in tears and bewilderment is heartbreaking. I have trusted my children to these very people. This is a big deal. The prounion folks can wait. I will not be bullied into rushing this decision.... if that results in it going to a vote, so be it. I am interested in moving forward in a manner that will help heal the, already deep, divide. A yes vote would crush about half half of our teacher population - who are only asking for more time. A no vote would equally crush about another half of teacher population & make them feel as if their concerns are not being heard. A delay - while it may result in a vote (and thus a true gauge) - will not disenfranchise. My 2 cents.

By failing to hold a meeting, I think we would be sending a signal of chaos and lack of governance in a moment in which the exact opposite signal is called for.

Kiki From:"blecesne@loyno.edu" To: lusher-boa rd-only@googlegroups com Sent: Saturday, April 9, 2016 9A2 AM Subject: United Teachers of Lusher Hi all, As you know, yesterday we were presented with a petition requesting the Board to recognize United Teachers of Lusher as a collective bargaining agent. So we have a very important decision to make and have to do sooner rather than later. Basically, we will have to decide whether to agree or decline to reco nize Lusher Teachers. In the meantime, the purpose of this email is to see what your availabilty looks during the week. In order to better inform our decision-making, I would like to arrange small group meetings between a representative group of the teachers and their union rep and Board members as soon as possible. These would be relatively brief, informal, informational sessions to hear from the teachers regarding their objectives and get a sense of what this is all about. We would mostly listen but certainly could ask questions if desired. It is not intended as forum for listing grievences and complaints, but rather a higher level policy conversation. Once we meet with them, Kathy has asked that she also meet with us to give her views, which we should do. Given the short notice, the most efficient way to get this done is to set aside a time block on a couple of days next week where Board members can come in at their convenience and join the conversation. I am tentatively proposing Tuesday and, if necessary, Wednesday from 5:00-6:30. Whoever can make it during these windows please try and do so. If at any point we reach quorum level, one or two of us may have to step outside. But given our varying schedules that will not likely be an issue. My hope is that most of us will get a chance to meet with the teachers, even if briefly, on Tuesday or Wednesday. I do think it is very important that every Board member at some point have this opportunity before we make any decisions. Please let me know ASAP if you can attend.
