Rally this morning at 10:00 am...Liberty Park, 21st and Monroe Blvd, Ogden

OEA members, Ogden teachers and friends will rally this morning at 10:00 am in the Liberty Park, 21st St. and Monroe Blvd, Ogden.

Speakers will include Doug Stephens (OEA President), Sharon Gallagher-Fishbaugh and Greg Johnson, NEA Executive Board member from Oklahoma.

After the rally, Ogden teachers will walk to the Ogden School District offices.

Please wear red in solidarity of our request to the Ogden School Board to return to the table to discuss these unprecedented actions taken to issue an ultimatum to teachers and bypass negotiations for the 2011-12 school year.

We hope to see you there.

One in solidarity,
Rick
