Delegates to the 2006 WEAC Representative Assembly adopted two new WEAC Resolutions. They are:
B-45 School district closings and consolidations
The WEAC believes a fair and adequate system of school funding and taxation would reduce or eliminate the need for school district closings and consolidations. Schools and school districts are central to the social and economic vitality of communities, and a school funding system that maintains great schools in every community supports a vibrant society and a strong economy.
The Council believes all children must continue to receive quality education when districts are dissolved, consolidated or reorganized. The Council believes school districts should consolidate or reorganize only when it is in the best academic interests of students and contributes to great public schools.
The Council believes that the bargaining rights of teachers and education support professionals must be retained in school districts that are dissolved, consolidated or reorganized. The terms of all employee collective bargaining agreements must be honored by the absorbing or new district. Changes to these agreements will be negotiated between the school district and their employee unions.
A-36 Elimination of discrimination
The WEAC is committed to the elimination of discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, economic status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identification, age, and all other forms of discrimination.
