Management's unwillingness to compensate teachers fairly is directly affecting the learning conditions for students. Management can end this mess they have created by offering us an acceptable salary and benefits package.

Teachers deserve more than survival wages.

Today's picket wasn't just about contracts - it was about respect, stability, and creating classrooms where children can thrive. We are grateful for the continued support of our parent community.

This is what budget decisions look like in real life. Oak Grove teachers should not be the safety net for management's misguided financial priorities.

Millions are flowing to consultants and outside services - more than doubling in the last few years - while teachers are told "We can't afford it".

Management is proposing a fixed-dollar contribution toward our health insurance, which caps their costs and leaves teachers to absorb every increase in premiums. We insist on a shared risk model that protects our members from unpredictable spikes.

The numbers don't lie - our raise is affordable.

There were several objectionable claims made in Oak Grove's recent budget FAQ, but their comparison of salaries to neighboring districts was downright dishonest.

Last night showed the strength of our union: patient, united, and unwilling to be silenced by management's transparent effort to delay public comment and wear us down.

OGEA members showed their dedication last night, enduring a long wait through a sleep-inducing budget presentation to voice their views during public comment.

Did you know that you pay more for your health insurance coverage than the Oak Grove administrators who make a much higher salary than you?

Part 4: Services & Consulting - Management has more than doubled their spending on consultants and outside services in the last 5 years. The tens of millions spent in these categories dwarf the amount we are asking for salary and benefits.

Part 3: Revenue & Reserves - Management chronically underestimates its revenue and overestimates its expenses in their annual budgets, leaving behind surpluses of millions of dollars when the books close each year.

You work hard every day in your classroom making students your top priority. Management needs to stop making excuses about why they can't afford to pay the salary you deserve. Yes, they can afford a 6% raise, and yes, they can use money in their reserve funds to pay it.
