KIPP Columbus charter schools teachers and staff are calling on their superintendent and board of directors to voluntarily recognize their union.
“When educators – the people who support students and families every day – have a seat at the table, things are better for everyone,” Zach Usmani, a social worker at KIPP Columbus Elementary School, said in a release announcing the union's formation. “Ensuring our voices are heard in decision-making will improve equity, build stronger schools, and attract and retain the best talent to teach our students.
Filing with NLRB begins the process of scheduling a secret ballot union election, which would happen if KIPP Columbus does not recognize the supermajority support by the signed union cards. KIPP Columbus received at least $15 million in public funding for the 2021-2022 school year, the union organizers noted.
