Teachers adopt six-point plan
The Executive Board of the Eugene Education
Association (EEA) has adopted a six-point Action
Program which it recommended to teachers in the
Eugene school district at a Tuesday meeting.
One of the recommendations requests district
teachers to refuse to accept student teachers and all
other University personnel, pending the outcome of
sanction hearings to be held by the Oregon
Education Association (OEA) in Eugene Thursday
and Friday.
Pat Meany, Deputy Executive Director of the
OEA told the some 400 educators that a five
member fact-finding team will take testimony from
teachers and then report to the OEA Board of
Trustees at a March 3 meeting.
Meany said that if an OEA sanction is invoked,
withdrawal of placement services of the OEA to the
district would occur and an alert that undesirable
conditions existed in Eugene would be sent to other
placement services throughout the country.
Referring to the possibility that student
teachers would not be accepted in the district, EEA
President Gordon Quigley said that it’s not the
association’s attempt to do harm to the University.
“We can’t send student teachers to substandard
districts and expect them to come out effectively
professional,’’ he said.
Robert Gilberts, Dean of the College of
Education at the University, refused to comment on
the EEA’s action.
Other points of the Action Program recom
mended to the teachers include continued work with
the OEA on the sanctions investigation and the
purchasing of quarter-page advertisements in the
Eugene Register-Guard.
Another proposal concerns withdrawal of all
staff from extra duties in the areas of after school
advisory, supervisory and consultive services, all
committee meetings outside the eight-hour work
day, all evening and weekend responsibilities not
designated as contract duty, and ail in-service and
parent-principal conferences beyond the eight-hour
workday.
The two final recommendations ask teachers to
refuse summer contracts and withdrawal from
committees involved in developing high school
graduation criteria and requirements.
The EEA issued a statement containing the six
recommendations and requested the teachers to
sign the statements, pledging to support the
proposals. Quigley said he expected aU signed
statements to be returned later this week. He said
he hoped that at least 50 per cent of the teachers
would sign the statement.
