(Also, 60-second seminars in speaking to the Governing Board = one more service your local union offers.)

Here is something to ponder on this Wednesdayโฆif you had 30 extra minutes of planning time today, how would you use it? #SunnysidePlans#ProtectPlanningTime
1. Show them the staff bathrooms & the good copier.
2. Help them prioritize what's immediate and what can wait.
3. Let them know they're not alone.

When we only use $20M for counselors, social workers, and school resource officers while $1 BILLION sits in the rainy day fund, government is definitely in the way of keeping our kids safe.

Help spread the word that it is up to us to #protectplanningtime for Sunnyside.
