Good evening families of Fern Bacon Middle School,

This is Mrs. Coronado calling with a very important message regarding labor negotiations in Sac City.  Sac City certificated and classified labor partners, SCTA and SEIU, have announced their intention to strike this Wednesday, March 23rd. District leadership is continuing to work with labor partners to avert a strike, but in the event that a strike does happen, FERN BACON WILL BE CLOSED beginning on Wednesday, March 23rd. We do not yet know when the strike will end, but do understand that may extend to multiple days. 

This was a painful and difficult decision for district leadership to make, especially when students have experienced so much disruption to their learning over the last two years. However, with multiple bargaining units electing to strike, school sites will not be able to maintain safe learning environments for all students and cannot remain open under limited capacity.  I will keep you informed as district leaders negotiate to reach an agreement with labor partners to avert the strike.  Should the strike not happen, schools will be open as usual.  Meal service will be available to all students, with more information coming shortly.

For more information about the strike and negotiations, please visit the district website at https://www.scusd.edu/pod/negotiations-faq.  You can also expect regular updates from district leadership and me with further details as they become available.  For now, please expect school to be CLOSED on Wednesday, March 23rd and make arrangements to keep your child home.  Should the strike not happen, our school will remain open, which will be communicated by both myself and leadership.  

All this information and more can be found on our website under QUICK LINK, LATEST NEWS. 

Thank you and have a nice evening.

Mrs. Coronado
