I’m excited to announce that I am running for Vice President of the VT-NEA! Looking forward to sharing my dedication to and passion for teaching in Vermont over the next few months!

The Commission’s first recommendation around education funding is to abandon the hybrid system of homestead taxes for homeowners. https://t.co/ktQzSSP0p1 #vted #vtpoli

Half way through this public hearing, we hope lawmakers are really listening. And realizing what they have proposed is doing to dedicated teachers and state employees. Time to determine whose side you are on. #vtpoli #vted

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

The short response at first glance of the House's pension proposal: whose side are you on? Despite teachers' hard work before and during the pandemic, leaders want you to pay more, work longer, and get less. #vtpoli

[Tom Payeur @2019VTTOY]

The pension and other commitments need to be funded, not gutted #vted @vermontnea https://t.co/3TEQfD0k9K

Let's say this again: we don't need reassurance, we need statewide safety requirements that apply in all of our schools. Let's work together in a phased-in approach. #vted #vtpoli https://t.co/1lWxIdGtiC

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

And this is exactly why we have called for a statewide reopening commission. @GovPhilScott said it was politics; he is clearly wrong. Chaos at the local level isn’t safe for students, educators, and communities. https://t.co/DvK9A8J6wm #vted #vtpoli

[Tom Payeur @2019VTTOY]

Finally a moment of reality in this very unreal build up to school reopening https://t.co/WTtZ98NtEV

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont proposed a 6.3% price increase and MVP Health Care proposed an 7.3% increase for small employers & individuals next year. How would this affect you or your employer? Make your voice heard! https://t.co/ciYDDRKyXa

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

There’s nothing creative about safety, @GovPhilScott. Local districts and our students, educators, communities deserve rock-solid safety requirements that are mandated statewide. @vermontnea members are ready to help. Are you listening?

[Tom Payeur @2019VTTOY]

Local control in a world wide pandemic is a farce

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

The voices and expertise of teachers, paraeducators, school nurses, custodians, food service workers, administrators, and parents are vital if we are to have a safe return to in-person instruction this fall. @GovPhilScott, it's not politics, it's common sense. #vted #vtpoli

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

The members of @vermontnea call on @GovPhilScott and @danfrench to establish a statewide school reopening commission that has the voices of teachers, ESPs, school nurses and all involved in keeping our kids safe. #vted #vtpoli https://t.co/W9RhO145OE

'It is unfortunate that Gov. Phil Scott and Education Secretary Dan French chose to make this announcement before the real hard work of planning and preparation has been completed." https://t.co/HosBbWScnk #vted #vtpoli

You tried to deny me the opportunity to come into the house my enslaved ancestors built and shake my hand until you were pressured into it. Having to award an honor to a Black man who deserved it and not one of your Black cronies sickened you. You don’t care about Black people
