The Redford Union Education Association, a union made of school employees, has some harsh words for Superintendent Jasen Witt. An overwhelming 93% of the association voted to say they have "no confidence" in Witt's leadership. Of the 149 eligible voters, 145 of whom cast ballots, 135 made the no confidence vote. Steve Losey, the president of the education association and a 26-year teacher in the district, said people will leave if Witt is hired as the next permanent superintendent. Losey said 23 staff, 16 of them teachers, have left the district in the last year. “They’re going to see people leaving," Losey said. "That’s what it comes down to. In the climate we have where there’s a teacher shortage going on, it’s going to be very difficult for them to find teachers.”
