Bg9385:

Perhaps you missed this statement from Darlene Netcoh about last week's WTU meeting: “In fact, when someone tried to discuss sick out language, I stifled it,” Netcoh said. https://warwickpost.com/pilgrim-high-school-classes-canceled-today/

Or perhaps you missed the Beacon's prior report of "a prolonged debate between members of the union" about a sick out at last week's WTU meeting. http://warwickonline.com/stories/possible-sick-out-plans-squashed-by-teachers,128216?

Based on these two articles, your statement "A sickout was not discussed at the union meeting last week" is factually incorrect.

Mrs. Netcoh could not stifle a discussion unless someone started one; and the Beacon's indication of a "prolonged debate" shows that the discussion actually went further than someone simply trying to bring up the sick out idea.

For readers who value transparency and full information, here is the former contract: http://district.wpstech.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/WTUContract2012-2014.pdf

Contrary to Supt. Thornton's quoted words in the article, there is no requirement for teachers to produce doctor's notes before a holiday weekend stated in the expired contract, however, the contract does state that "The School Committee may require a certificate from a physician for an absence or illness." [p. 16]

So, that's one correct and one incorrect statement, Bg9385, not "two incorrect statements."

Your future statements will be considered much more credible if you make the effort to provide information that supports them.
