Jay Blain, spokesman for the Utah Education Association, said his office is disappointed by the Ogden School Board's decision.
"It's unfortunate they are not collaborating with the association to work together for the best outcome for students and teachers in the district," he said. "Across the state, we see the vast majority of districts working collaboratively with teachers' associations.
"We are saddened by the turn of events in Ogden. In any employment environment where workers don't feel respected, there's going to be difficulty. They always say they want to attract and retain more teachers, and Ogden will find doing that more difficult with this kind of action."
What teacher wants to work in a hostile environment? My outside advice to new teachers is to stay clear of OSD!
