The CV School District paid approx $47,000 to TWO different law firms for the month of April alone. Part of their services were likely prep for the Fact Finding Hearing that took place in April. The Fact Finding Report is publicly available now (link in comments ⬇️) but the crazy thing is - the District is the one who requested Fact Finding, yet they didn’t even hold a vote to consider the Fact Finding Report 🤔 By not holding a vote, the district rejected the report. The CV Union on the other hand VOTED YES 💯 unanimously to accept the report in a true compromise to settle this contract.

‼️ CV custodians, maintenance and transportation service workers voted YES on the Fact Finding Report - an attempt by a neutral third party to help both sides reach a settlement.
The district has not yet held their vote.

There are too many instances to list of First Student’s negligence and misconduct. We can’t lower our standards, CV! NO SUBCONTRACTING! 🛑

“Detectives said Medlock, who worked as an aide for school bus contractor First Student and served a local school, became “physically and verbally abusive with multiple children who are special needs students.””

New York School Bus Aide Arrested for Allegedly Abusing Children A Long Island school bus aide working for a contractor is charged with multiple counts of abusing students with special needs on his route.

School Bus Appreciation Day was this week!
How can the district show some appreciation? Drop the subcontracting threat and let’s focus on driving education forward at CV!

CVESP loves our CV bus drivers ❤️ 💙
