Broward Teachers Union

South Florida teachers union leaders say CDC protocols are being followed but more work flexibility is needed. Also, a "vicious and violent" murder of a Black transgender woman highlights violence faced by the community.

The Broward Teachers Union has sent a letter to Broward County schools superintendent Robert Runcie, putting him on notice. The union on Friday warned the school district of potentially facing legal liability if they “continue to ignore legitimate safety and wellness issues.”

Broward County Public Schools was the last district in the state to bring students back into classrooms.

Broward teachers can expect a pay raise and they might also be expected to come into the classroom next month. Plus, a measure on the November ballot that could dramatically change how voters update the state constitution. And how small businesses are making it through the pandemic.
