Sweetwater school district teachers showed their resolve when they took their strike vote. Of the 1800 teachers 1400 teachers voted in favor of a strike… now that Superintendent Brand sees the overwhelming support and unity of the teachers he has been back tracking on his tough talking stance… Teachers are upset that of the $9 million dollars being released by the state to the district none of which will go towards the teachers but is slated to go toward their board’s and Brand’s desire to get new a new building for themselves… that and other issues such as their benefits….
