EMSF members and family had a great night and a great game. We stayed through the rain and had a beautiful night of baseball. It ended with a St Paul Saints win and amazing fireworks!
Thank you to Dawn Nordin for setting this up and providing the trivia fun. Thank you to Bill, who got us there and back safely.

“I’ve seen 32 years of budgets come and go. I know that money is finite, but I also know that saving money by undercutting teachers and passing the burden of healthcare onto our backs is a debt that this district will eventually have to pay in the form of high turnover and lost expertise.”
- St. Francis Area High School teacher & coach Keith Lipinski

Teachers in the St. Francis Area Schools District have been working without a contract for over nine months since their previous contract expired on July 1, 2025.

Thank you to our community for all the support!

We look forward to our next mediation session this Thursday. It’s time for the district to step up and settle our contract so teachers can get back to focusing fully on what matters most — our students.

Well said, Lisa-Marie! All teachers are asking is for St. Francis Area Schools to invest in us like we invest in our students each and every day. The district needs to finish the job in mediation this Thursday and settle our contract!

👏👏👏 President Anne Carter with a strong message for the school board on Monday: "We have done our part by showing up for our students every day. Now it is time for you to do your part. ... Get. This. Done!"

Shayla is right. Our members WANT to stay in St. Francis. But the district is forcing many of us into an impossible choice: stay and take what amounts to a pay cut or leave the school community we love for better pay and benefits in neighboring districts.

Keep great teachers in St. Francis. Settle our contract!
