AN MP is hosting a public meeting on strikes impacting local schools.
Members of the National Education Union have staged the first walkouts in protest at plans by the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership to make redundancies.
The trust says the move is necessary in order to tackle “financial challenges”, but the industrial action has left schools fully or partially closed.
With further strikes planned over the coming weeks, Labour MP Dave Robertson is hosting a public meeting in Lichfield on the issue on 22nd January.
He said:
“The meeting will discuss the school strikes and its wider implications for students and staff across Arthur Terry Learning Partnership schools.
“Parents, teachers, students, staff, and anyone concerned about the future of the schools are welcome to attend.”
The event will take place from 6.30pm to 7.15pm. Places must be booked in advance online.
