Putting a focus on Bay Area district: superintendent and union president team up

In many school districts, teachers’ union presidents and superintendents don’t always see eye to eye.

But in one Bay Area school district, the top representatives of a California Teachers Association-affiliated union and a Contra Costa County school district are teaming up to show their community the good things happening on their campuses in the hopes of attracting more families to public schools. At a time of increasing labor strife, what is happening in West Contra Costa Unified can be seen as a different way to get things done.
