Collective bargaining rights were extended to Fairfax County Public Schools employees with a vote Thursday…

Mount Vernon District representative Karen Corbett Sanders introduced a motion seconded by At-Large member Abrar Omeish to develop a process for considering more bargaining units. The School Board voted to seek that process by Sept. 1.

School board member Abrar Omeish said last summer that the program had been in the works for more than a year. She said she assembled a student working group with representatives from every high school to seek feedback on the county’s plans.
