Cortland United Teachers Wins Appeal...

The New York State Public Employees relations Board ruled in favor of the Cortland United Teachers in the appeal of the improper labor practice case against Cortland City Schools. The long awaited decision was received by the Cortland teachers on Friday, April 30th 2012.

The improper practice charge  was originally filed in November of 2010 by the Cortland United Teachers alleging that the decision to not pay its teachers a contractual step violated the Taylor Law . In April 2011, a PERB judge ruled in favor of the teachers and the school district immediately appealed the decision (believing apparently that they knew more that a PERB appointed judge about the matter or just stalling for time).

In the Courts decision, Cortland Schools under the direction of Superintendent Laurence Spring have been ordered immediately make them whole by paying them them back pay that they are owed IMMEDIATELY plus "the maximum allowable interest by law.

To the editor: (of The Cortland Standard)

We wish to extend a sincere thanks to the Cortland community for supporting our collection of school supplies for McArthur School in Binghamton, which was flooded during Hurricane Irene. Our students stood outside Wal-mart on Saturday, October 22 and asked folks to buy certain items that are needed at McArthur. People responded in an incredibly generous manner. We raised $640 and collected two enormous boxes of supplies. Our students learned a great lesson from all of you: that a community can work together to help one another. We thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
