Two Morgan Hill Unified School District educators took to the video waves this week, producing a Youtube silent clip that depicted their plights as teachers trying to make due in one of the most expensive parts of the country.
The video comes on the heels of the local teachers’ union’s ongoing contract negotiations with district leadership that have stalled to a point where a mediator has been brought in.
A married couple and veteran teachers, Britton Middle School’s Tony Goble and Nordstrom Elementary School’s Anna Goble, held up cards telling their story from living with their parents to save money for a home, to using grandparents for free day care that they would otherwise not be able to afford.
MHUSD and the Morgan Hill Federation of Teachers have a scheduled meeting in January with the mediator to attempt to work out a fair compensation agreement before the current contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 school year.
