Teachers and community members are expected to pack the Lewisville Campus this evening, as the Battle Ground Public Schools board considers a resolution authorizing legal action to address the ongoing teacher strike.
The district has not specified whether this means it intends to file an injunction to stop its teachers striking, but appears to set the stage to do so.
The Battle Ground Education Association, in response, took to social media to rally supporters to attend the meeting. But, the union warned people not to clap, yell or bring signs. At Monday’s board meeting, President Ken Root closed the meeting to all but reporters after the room erupted into applause after the final speaker.
“WE WILL NOT GIVE THEM AN EXCUSE TO KICK US OUT,” the union posted in a Facebook event. “MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS.”
