Brooklyn Friends School leadership will withdraw its petition to decertify a staff union, the school’s principal Crissy Cáceres said in an email to parents late Wednesday.
“We have been negotiating in good faith for many days, and we believed we would come to a full resolution today. Unfortunately, the UAW was not able to come to terms with us. Nevertheless, because children are absolutely at the center for us, and we refuse to continue allowing our children to suffer, Crissy and the Board of Trustees have agreed to withdraw the petition,” read the joint statement, which landed in parents’ inboxes just before 9:30 pm.
