Dickson backs school board negotiation aids
Neenah management consultant James Dickson running for state superintendent urged Wisconsin DPI to provide negotiation aids to school boards amid rising threats of teacher strikes. He criticized current policy on state aid for districts missing 174 classroom days and advocated makeup time, including Saturdays, to ensure a full year of schooling. Dickson cited his experience with boards in Stevens Point, Appleton, Rothschild Schofield, Hustisford, Menasha and Two Rivers and promoted constructive negotiations over adversarial bargaining. He urged parental control of DPI and noted teachers already have a voice through collective bargaining.
