“If French is an undynamic, uninspiring devotee of not doing anything or having any ideas, then it looks like Scott hired the best person to carry out his education policies. Because ignoring problems in public education (cost aside) is par for the course in this administration.”

Support equitable access to healthcare for all school workers! Pls take a moment to send a message to implore Gov. Scott to sign H.81. https://t.co/DEQ9eydcmF

No-one is coming to save us-- it's up to us to protect our pensions and demand that the wealthiest among us pay their fair share to support the schools our kids deserve! Click on the FB event link for steps. #vswac #vted #safeandjustvtschools

The ESP and teacher members of Orange Southwest Education Association are sponsoring a statewide call-in day for school employees, state workers, and allies to send a firm message to Montpelier: don't mess with our pensions! https://t.co/UTshPp16K1

"Now is not the time to use our inside voices, or to settle for what power holders tell us is possible. We need a vision and a strategy to build power so we can change what is possible." Together we can! #vted #kelman4VTNEA https://t.co/2hzWPYn4AF

What's been your fave part of being a schoolworker during 'rona? I'll go first: repeated minimizing of our concerns around the pandemic by local and state powers regularly, publicly saying our concerns are based in fear & we need to step-up. #vted #safeandjustvtschools

[Beverly Taft @mindlessgirl]

Folks, Please support school workers and consider signing and sharing this petition. #vted https://t.co/To0EIFopwR

2 weeks into the reopening of school buildings. Stowe, Hartford, Crossett Brook, Williamstown. Reminders that we are still in the middle of a global pandemic and that schools are not impervious. Mask, physically distance, wash hands, avoid large gatherings. Repeat. Over & over.

"Some of the things I have touched today"-from an elementary school teacher in Windsor County. #safeandjustvtschools #pandemicteaching

[VT School Workers Action Committee @VtWorkers]

From an educator in Central VT. Some folks forgetting we have been in the middle of a global health crisis for the past 6 months. This is a priority? Right now, workers are trying to educate & keep students safe. #safeandjustvtschools #vted

[VT School Workers Action Committee @VtWorkers]

From Southern VT. How are we to maintain #safeandjustvtschools when we are given conflicting info. Outside of school the determination is 6’ or less for 15mins. But, inside of a school for hrs, that doesn’t apply?!?! @healthvermont ##vted
