Election Day at Centerpoint school! Today we are taking a big step forward for our teachers! #sayunionyes #vted

Hope all educators had a wonderful April break! Many Centerpoint teachers must work during these student breaks, as there is not enough PTO to cover all of these scheduled breaks.

A strong union will work to make Centerpoint a sustainable place to work. The bi-weekly take home pay for a teacher with one dependent on their health plan is $950. Centerpoint should do more to bring this number up to the standard set by other schools around the state. #vted

The Centerpoint Education Association will take on the challenge of creating a more equitable workplace. We want a seat at the table when decisions are made that impact our health and safety! #vted #sayunionyes

[Vermont NEA @vermontnea]

Educators' working conditions are students' learning conditions. @vermontnea stands with @CenterpointEDU! #vted

[Centerpoint Education Association @CenterpointEDU]

A strong union at Centerpoint will not only support a better workplace for teachers, it can improve the learning environment for students as well!

[Centerpoint Education Association @CenterpointEDU]

Fun fact about the reality of being a Centerpoint Teacher - We are expected to transport students in our personal vehicles, without any extra compensation to account for the added wear and tear on those vehicles.

Reduce the burdens on our teachers! #vted #sayunionyes

“I think that it is long overdue, and thank you for all that you do.” So nice to hear our work appreciated. We are seeking union representation so that teachers can feel this appreciation reflected in our paychecks, benefits packages, and opportunities for career growth. 2/2

A parent passed along this message after hearing of our drive to unionize. “What would we do without people like you, your patience and guidance. You all are right up there as some of the most underpaid to do the jobs most of us cannot fathom.” Cont. 1/2

Excerpts from our recent press release:
-Centerpoint’s faculty and staff do not have winter, spring, or summer vacations.
-Centerpoint’s educators are paid lower salaries than their counterparts at public schools.
Those are both great reasons to #SayUnionYes

The 13,000 members of @vermontnea know that a union makes us stronger and gives us the learning conditions our students deserve! We're with you, @centerpointedu! #vted #vtpoli https://t.co/ozIeJUvsRM

It's a beautiful day to unionize! We are the Centerpoint Education Association, and we know that a unionized workplace would be best for us - and our students! https://t.co/9Xfftg4bPc #vted #SayUnionYes
