The relationship between the Jefferson Parish School Board and the Jefferson Federation of Teachers continues to be precarious, as union members and several School Board members clashed at Monday evening's board meeting over issues concerning union dues. The relationship between the local union and the School Board has been tenuous ever since the board refused to renew the union's proposed collective bargaining contract this past May.
Board member Michael Delesdernier proposed that the school district require all union members to sign a form every year renewing their union dues.
