The San Jose Teachers Association is advocating for increased safety in schools amid rising concerns over weapons and threats. They are focusing on incorporating "teaching conditions and safety" into contract negotiations with the San Jose Unified School District. President Renata Sanchez emphasizes the need for clear school safety protocols and adequate support for students with behavioral issues. Teacher surveys reveal overwhelming support for enhanced mental health resources, campus security measures, and salary increases, as educators feel vulnerable in their roles while striving to ensure student safety.
Safety is foundational to learning. Our students can't wait any longer for better support in our schools.
We feel helpless. It is our job to make our students feel safe even though we don't feel safe.
