Cedar Rapids School Board Charged With Prohibited Acts
A complaint filed Thursday by the Cedar Rapids Federation of Teachers accuses the Cedar Rapids Community School Board of violating the public employment relations act by repealing policies that benefit teachers. The 6-1 vote on June 23 rescinded policies on travel credit, professional development time, early warning, dismissal for unsatisfactory service, and layoffs, while a later regulation said the rescissions would not affect 1975-74 contracts. Norman Hanson, CRELT president, says the action punishes bargaining unit members for exercising their rights under the act. The board members cited concerns about the collective bargaining law in comments quoted in the complaint.
