To all the teachers/admin who have spent countless hours preparing for f2f, virtual, & hybrid, who are already exhausted, worn out, and stressed out. Remember your purpose is greater than your current struggles. Amd take time for self care. You need and deserve it!
To Kentucky Teachers....what Bevin and the new Education Board has just done is as big a threat to public education in the state long term as his original Pension plan proposal...if not more so
Rep. Jeff Hoover: "It disturbs me that this governor would say that we don't understand fiscal policy and don't understand the budget process." I'll tell you what we do understand, he adds, that you can't cut $600M from schools as he tried and not expect kids to be hurt. ^JC
“We have just learned that Gov. Bevin has signed SB 151 (pensions). When the courts open tomorrow, we will take action. Stay tuned.” —Attorney General Andy Beshear
Last night the House and Senate violated the inviolable contract and broke their word – but I am going to keep mine. I will file suit to stop SB 151. ^AB
Moments ago, Republican leadership amended a sewage bill to include “pension reform.” They are now forcing lawmakers to vote on the bill without time to read its 291 pages, with no testimony from the public and without any actuarial analysis. This is government at its worst. ^AB
Nation watches K-12 public school education in Ky climb for almost 25 years and legislators cut new teacher’s modest pension. Now teachers become the most professional group in KY without a guaranteed retirement. No Social Security. Will this help our teacher quality shortage?
Shame on you Senator Mike Wilson and Rep. Michael Meredith! Teachers will remember you in the upcoming elections. You DID NOT support teachers tonight! 😡
