Winchester Education Association: Working to make education better for all students and educators!

[WEA @WinEduAssoc]

This is why membership in an association matters:

[WEA @WinEduAssoc]

Have a great first day, @tweetwps faculty and staff… remember… tell your story! #advocate

[TweetWPS @tweetwps]

⚠️ Attention WPS Parents and Guardians: The health and safety of our students is crucial for learning. Please, talk to your children about the risks of consuming edibles and using vaping devices. CDC has great resources on vaping: https://t.co/UYRnCUlrbm

[WEA @WinEduAssoc]

On Tuesday evening, @WincVAgov City Council voted against educators and education. WEA Members… be prepared for a call to action. The Executive Board will meet next week to discuss next steps. City Council must hear our voices loud and clear. @WinStarVa

[WEA @WinEduAssoc]

And WEA supports this effort.

💰 Over the past several months, the WPS School Board has been hard at work on the 2023 budget proposal. Tomorrow, Superintendent @jvanheukelum and School Board Chair @MarieImoh will present the FY23 budget - which includes a 7% raise for all staff - to City Council. #gowps

[WEA @WinEduAssoc]

This is a big deal. Thank you to @jvanheukelum and the @tweetwps BOE for your commitment to the students and staff of Winchester Public Schools.

The city school division wants a 7% cost-of-living increase for employees. The increase means seeking nearly $2 million more from City Council for the 2022-23 school year.

“Richmond education workers have not had a say in the conditions of their employment for over 40 years. Collective bargaining is the best way to begin to change this.” #Organizing2Bargain https://t.co/qTOIW578Om

Today kicks off #BlackLivesMatter at School Week! The goal of this week is to spark an ongoing movement of critical reflection, honest conversation, impactful actions in school communities for people of all ages to engage with issues of racial justice. ⬇️

Great idea from @VEA4Kids:
Parents, please report to Governor Youngkin all of the amazing things going on in Virginia's classrooms & schools on a daily basis, ways our schools & our educators bring our communities together.

Thanks to @tweetwps, the school board, and @jvanheukelum for making the courageous decision to continue the mask policy. Student and staff safety is imperative to keeping schools open and operational. And keeping the schools open and operational is imperative to education.

[Virginia Education Association @VEA4Kids]

The 2022 VEA Summit on Racial and Social Justice will highlight the urgency of understanding why “Honesty in Education” is vital and make recommendations for policy changes to advocate for the protection of teachers as they teach whole and honest history. https://t.co/ImDb614Ree

“We made history. We are the first, but we have all of our brothers and sisters around the Commonwealth that are going to be going through the same fight. We need to help them. It is about solidarity, it is about support.”

BREAKING: Classrooms that returned from quarantine Monday to Jensen Elementary, where two mothers have died due to complications from COVID-19, are now back in quarantine at the West Side School starting tomorrow.

$10 billion cut from our schools would devastate our students and educators. One candidate in this evening's gubernatorial debate backs this plan.
See the differences between the candidates on important issues, including public education, here: https://t.co/NHGtx4LMTW

[Fairfax Education Association @FEA_Fairfax]

"In states where educators play a role in contract negotiations, the benefit to students is abundant."
Parents in Fairfax know that collective bargaining is best for students, teachers, and the community at large!
