The Time to Act is Now…
The Association Representatives in each building were sent petitions for teachers (members and/or nonmembers) to sign to decline those 4 year contracts if offered. It is time for teachers to stand up for the kids they teach and for each other. It is also time for teachers to stand up to the General Assembly!
First give Teachers a raise, then let’s talk about how to reward excellent instruction. Spending $20 in 2008 is like spending $21.64 today. That’s an 8.2% increase. Ok, so we got a 1.12% raise in the past 5 years. So, educators deserve at least a 7.08% raise just to keep pace with inflation.
Sign to Decline in your building, if not, you can come to the CCAE officeMonday – Thursday (4:30 pm – 6:00 pm) and sign the petition. Please do this before February 7, 2014.
