Thank you Congressman @RoKhanna for bringing light to this very important Nevada issue. Thank you for standing in solidarity with @cceanv .
Clark County teachers will not be stopped in continuing to fight for our contract!
“Legislators know what they passed in SB231”
Yes we do!
“It’s pretty simple: give educators a raise.”
Why are we still afflicted with @SuptJaraCCSD and his total disdain for our community?
10 days of school and 10 days of #PayDay rallies all across CCSD. Educators are fired up and united in our fight for the contract we deserve!
No contract? No peace! #CCEAStrong
"We have teachers who’ve been working for 10 years like myself. Who’ve seen very little in terms of the wages and the pay increase," Reuben D’Silva said. https://t.co/SZOBMQ8T2j
It’s just the second day of school so far and already hundreds of CCEA members and frontline educators have organized and held Pay Day Rallies at their schools to help ensure we win the contract we deserve and that every classroom has a licensed teacher. #CCEAStrong#ContractNow
“CCEA Executive Director John Vellardita said Tuesday that the union’s response is essentially saying there’s no merit and no foundation to what the district is alleging, also noting it’s ‘clearly a political move.’”

“Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro (D-Las Vegas) downplayed district concerns over SB231 money as ‘ridiculous,’ arguing instead that the matching funds were like ‘any funding appropriated by the Legislature’ for the two-year biennial budget.”

According to the CCEA, Nevada educators are some of the lowest on the list, with a starting salary of around $50,000 a year.
The following are starting salaries in nearby areas:
•$54,000 in Arizona
•$57,000 in Utah
•$62,000 in Los Angeles

If you are an educator working for CCSD, & you’re not part of CCEA, you are weakening your own bargaining power. If you want what the administrators just got, you need to do what they do with their union, they JOIN it! They don’t drop & abandon it! @cceanv
