OUR STORY
We – teachers, counselors, psychologists, and parents – of Alliance Schools are coming together because we want to ensure the highest quality of education at Alliance. We love our schools and students, and believe that small class sizes, teacher and counselor recruitment and retention, health and safety, and a commitment to social, emotional and educational support for students will help build the schools Alliance students need and deserve.
Alliance can do better. Teachers have overwhelmingly voted to unionize to make improvements, but for 4 years Alliance has refused to respect educators’ decisions. Teachers have gone to Alliance Board meetings, sent letters and petitions, and held rallies, but the Alliance Board of Directors, to date, have done all they could to deny teachers a collective voice and repeatedly ignored legal orders to negotiate with educators, denying our rights under the law.
Parents have seen first-hand that teachers’ working conditions are their kids’ learning conditions, and when educators have a voice on the job and a say in how their school works, they fight for – and can win – real improvements in their children’s’ education, and protections for health and safety.
Instead of trying to silence our voices, Alliance should listen to its parents and educators.

“Recently, I’ve been disappointed that Alliance has turned away from its core values and isn’t delivering its promises of safe and quality schools for our children. As a parent who cares deeply about my children’s education, I want to make sure Alliance schools return to the values they once had, and I demand a change. That’s why I’m standing with educators”
— Ms. Chaidez, parent of two Alliance students and two Alliance graduates“Our teachers are burned out due to case overload. Our teachers need support. They need coaching, and they need reassurance. Our students deserve consistency.”
— Tony To, Biology Teacher, Alliance Morgan McKinzie High School“Alliance is spending millions on an anti-union campaign when the money should be spent on our students.”
— Quinn Riddle, Alliance Civics teacher
