Maybe here’s a clue or two as to what’s behind the issue. There’s a reference in the petition.

Quick update: about a month ago, EREA filed for mediation related to contract settlement. We were notified by the bureau of mediation services that we have been assigned a mediator, and will have our first meeting on Jan. 28. Also, new EREA union-made shirts have been ordered for teachers, and should arrive soon. Good luck on the first day back tomorrow!
The teacher had zero to do with any of this and yet students are now abusing and harassing her like she is the bad guy.
Poor woman, her reputation was indeed damaged.
