As we shared with you in the April 9 issue and April 16 issue of Insider Express, a Resolution Providing for Collective Bargaining was presented to the Albemarle County School Board for information on March 28 and unanimously approved by the board on April 11. Since then, the school division has developed a Frequently Asked Questions resource for employees.

What is collective bargaining? Will we have collective bargaining in ACPS? Is it okay to discuss collective bargaining with my colleagues, a union representative, or school leadership? Can a union promise to deliver wage increases, benefits enhancements, or improved working conditions? What are the dues if I decide to join a union? What is the timeline for all of this? Find out the answers to these questions and more by visiting our Frequently Asked Questions resource!

If you have additional questions, please reach out to Josiah Black.
