Decline to Sign
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.
Petition to Raise Teacher Pay
Stand with GovernorHunt and raise teacher pay
North Carolina’s teacher pay has put our schools in crisis. Many of NC’s best teachers are leaving the profession or going to work in other states where they can earn higher salaries. If we believe in our state motto “to be rather than to seem,” now is the time to aim high and make the changes necessary to ensure our public education system remains strong and keeps dedicated, caring, competent educators in our state.
Call for a bigger, bolder plan to raise teacher pay and sign his petition:
New Policy regarding Substitutes
Substitutes are only allowed to work 28 hours per week. This is due to theAffordable Health Care Act requiring the district to provide health insurance. I have inquired about retirees that subsitute… they already have health insurance… will they be exempt from this policy. I do have an unconfirmed report from a retiree that the new policy does not apply to her. I hope to hear from the administration to confirm this.
