More than 50 teachers worked outside the school for two days in 2021 over concerns about a lack of information about asbestos, and the district withheld their pay.
“We stood up for the safety of our students and ourselves, and honestly, we’re shocked that the district would take that illegal step to take our pay away as a way to silence us,” a teacher said.
Over two teacher work days prior to students reporting to school, the majority of Masterman’s faculty — more than 50 teachers — worked outside, conducting meetings, completing professional development tasks and planning for students’ return in the school’s outdoor courtyard, directly in front of the building. They worked at folding tables and in camp chairs, while parents supportive of their efforts held signs and provided water.
The teachers, the lawsuit said, were attempting to shine a light on the district’s failure “to provide Masterman teachers and parents complete information about asbestos remediation efforts at Masterman, and the potential danger that asbestos inside the school building posed to their students and to themselves. The demonstration drew press attention and embarrassed the district, but the plaintiffs fulfilled all of their job duties while they worked outside on those two days.
Those teachers who worked outside received “Unauthorized Leave Without Pay” notices and were docked money from their paychecks.
