Will school employees be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccines with other front-line workers? We'll be fighting to make sure they have that option.

I don’t think teachers will be remembered primarily for their lessons. I think they will be remembered for their energy... and their attitude... and their relationships.

Lessons are important... but they don’t tell the entire story. The legacy of a teacher is more than that.
