Teachers make their voices heard...
ARNOLD -- The Teachers Association of Anne Arundel County has voted no confidence in outgoing Superintendent Eric J. Smith, the union president said.
About half of the union's 4,200 members weighed in on the decision made at Severn River Middle School Wednesday night, union President Sheila Finlayson said. About 70 union representatives personally voted for the no-confidence motion.
"He is still putting things in place that are causing harm to teachers and students," Ms. Finlayson said.
Dr. Smith, who's leaving the school system Nov. 23, declined to comment on the vote. He pointed to a survey of parents and staff members last spring that indicated increasing satisfaction with his work and with the Board of Education.
Even though he's leaving in a matter of weeks, the vote was still needed, Ms. Finlayson said.
"Anyone who calls this petty doesn't understand what teachers do every day," she said.
