DESPA Goes to Court Over Volunteer Workers

CLEARFIELD – On Tuesday at 9 a.m., Clearfield County President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman will decide whether or not the DuBois Area School District can continue to use volunteers and others to do the jobs of members of the DuBois Education Support Professional Association.

Currently, the DuBois Area School District is using volunteers to do things like answer phones, greet people and more.

Members of D.E.S.P.A. are striking over issues involving pay, hours, and healthcare. They began striking on Oct. 6., with over 100 people involved.
