The administration of #SSD2 is unbelievably bad. #SheridanCO is being lead by a bunch of power-hungry do-nothings that clearly like their titles more than actually serving their community. The #teachers and educators and support staff are all fighting for better schools and the admin are fighting for total control and nothing less. Gianni Thompson needs to go but so do the rest of the school board.

Here is the official article from #Denver7
The Sheridan School District #2 Admin is unbelievably horrendous and incompetent and corrupt. The superintendent has shown clear patterns of misogyny and he needs to be removed. The mayor is somehow on the board of education and that reeks of corruption and conflict of interest

While on strike, Sheridan educators sound the alarm about what they consider safety issues, retaliation

The educators have worked the past school year without a contract, according to the union, which has also voiced concerns around retaliation in the district.

Keep in mind this is in Colorado, home to a mind-numbing number of mass shootings, and Alice Terry Elementary is only a 10 minute drive from Columbine High School.

Superintendent Gianni Thompson is a disgrace to any leadership title, and has brought shame to the entire education system. Fire him now.

In the event of a lockdown, educators were instructed to notify each other via radios, and in case anyone didn’t have a radio they were told to have a “runner” who would run down the halls yelling that there was a lockdown. In other words someone had to volunteer their life because the superintendent didn’t care to fix the security system #SheridanCO #strike #AliceTerryElementary #WorkersRights #TeachersRights #EducatorsRights #Union #UnionRights #Colorado #Denver7 #Denver7News #Sheridan #SSD2

This is the report I’ve been waiting for about the #SheridanCO staff #strike.
One of the educators at #AliceTerryElementary school was fired because she told a parent that the security system had been broken with no fixes put in place for SIX MONTHS. She told a parent and the superintendent was so furious that it made him look bad that he fired her on the spot.
