bit mostly
I have a little bit of optimism, mostly hope. I don't want to go backward, I know that.
bit couple letting next
I'm letting myself be a little bit happier. Hopefully, we can get this done in the next couple of weeks.
across days district percent picked sure
We were probably at about 35 percent across the district. I'm not real sure why the district picked these days to have school.
months strike union wasting
The union wanted to go on strike two months ago. The association has been on my case. They feel we've been wasting time.
language unresolved work
We just went through some of our unresolved language items. I think we got most of them resolved. We're going to work on it a little more (today).
attract behind people teachers
It's still behind most of the neighboring districts, but it's comparable. These are salaries that are going to keep people here, and it's going to attract teachers here and keep them, and that's what we want.
good lots standing support whatever willing
It was a very good meeting. There's lots of support. We're standing by our offer. We're willing to do whatever we have to do.
couple held months
They wanted to go out a couple months ago. I held off as long as I could.
community good helped members mentioned organize parents teachers
I told all the teachers to come down, and any members of the community that want to. A teacher mentioned (the idea of a rally) to me. I thought it would be a good idea. It just kind of spontaneously happened. Some parents have helped to organize it as well.
deal details looks might vote worked
We might have a deal done. It looks like we've worked out all of the details we can. So now we can vote on it.
contract expecting point resolved work
We're expecting a contract (today). The association has pretty much made their point to me, they want this resolved (today) or there could be another work stoppage.
blow case truth
We'll be back. I don't blow smoke. I tell the truth. I don't think that's the case on their side.
forth ideas seemed threw
I think the ideas we threw back and forth seemed positive.
affordable both break contract fair good
I think it's a good contract. I think it's fair to both sides. I think it's affordable to the taxpayers. I don't think this contract is going to break the bank.
