The Columbus Education Association's legislative assembly has unanimously voted to issue a 10-day notice of the union's intent to strike to Columbus City Schools after it held a members meeting Thursday.
The notice of intent to strike comes after bargaining sessions between the union and district ended in July, with the district giving its "final offer" and no bargaining sessions scheduled for this month.
CEA spokesperson Regina Fuentes said more than 2,500 of the union's nearly 4,500 members — which include teachers and other support staff — attended the meeting. The union did not disclose the number of members in its legislative assembly. The vote was closed to the public.
Fuentes said the union is asking for smaller class sizes; full-time art, music and physical education teachers; functioning heating and cooling systems in schools; giving teachers more planning time; a cap on the number of class periods in the day; and "other working conditions that recruit and retain the best educators for our students."
