The summer Little Rock School District newsletter contains the following helpful article. It was in response to several inquiries from teachers, a spokesman said, and thus no indication of any animus toward the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association on the part of the administration. (Who’d have ever thought that?)

Since the June Board meeting, several teachers have contacted the LRSD to find out how to cancel their union membership. In order to cancel their $587.55 annual CTA membership, the Classroom Teachers Association contract states that members who utilize continuing payroll deduction to pay their membership dues may cancel their deduction authorization by
presenting a written request by certified mail to the offices of the CTA and the Little Rock School District no sooner than June 15 and no later than July 15.

Letters to the CTA may be sent to 1500 W. 4th St., Suite 305, Little Rock, AR, 72201. Letters to the LRSD may be sent to 810 W. Markham St., Little Rock, 72201.

No word yet on the numbers.
