Teachers voice outrage over admin control and restrictions
In a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the treatment of teachers at RBS, highlighting issues of administrative control and staff morale. Teachers expressed frustration over the administration's practices, including the locking of work folders and lesson plans, which they argue effectively transfers ownership of their educational materials to the administration.

Additionally, the meeting revealed that staff meetings at RBS often extend until 6 PM, placing undue pressure on educators. Teachers reported feeling compelled to attend planning meetings under the threat of being labeled insubordinate for minor infractions, such as wearing jeans, which incurs a $75 penalty.

These discussions underscore a growing tension between educators and administration, prompting calls for more collaborative and respectful engagement in the workplace. The implications of these practices on teacher retention and student outcomes remain a critical concern for stakeholders in the education sector.
