📢 Attention PWCS school board 📢
PWCS educators deserve:
1. FAIR election process
2. NO delays in the process
3. REMOVAL of strike language
4. TRANSPARENCY with job titles
5. MEANINGFUL scope for bargaining
Pass a fair #collectivebargaining resolution without delay.
Virginia Librarian Friends (and Virginians who are Friends of Librarians)-can you send a few emails in support of budget amendments that would restore a state-level library specialist position at the VA Dept. of Ed? I can send you more information. #PWCSLibraries#PWSLA
The budget amendment that VAASL initiated to fund a school library specialist at the VDOE has now been sent to committees for consideration. Our next step is to send emails to the legislators asking for support. The information and email templates are on our website's homepage.
Upcoming Virginia Legislation
VAASL is concerned about several pieces of legislation in front of the Virginia General Assembly involving public school libraries: SB275, HB1007, HB1009, HB1032.
“Librarians are the keepers of our nations values. I can’t imagine having the power you do to teach our children the stories and information. Librarians have the most amazing power.” Author Jeff Zentner #VAASL21@jeffzentner 🤓❤️
"Being culturally responsive is not teaching based on stereotypes, but teaching based on relationships and getting to know your students' interests, history, and cultural norms." @RodRobinsonRVA#vaasl21#vaasl
At Apple, we know educators. We know all the prep that goes into getting ready for new students. This year, we want to take last year’s nearly vacant classrooms to the next level by giving away $1,500.💰🥳
