@browardschools I may need to send my high school journalism students to educate you on manipulating data to fit a narrative.

[Melissa Falkowski @m_falkowski]

@browardschools Come to the negotiations table with more than the state allotted 1.7%. This ploy to convince the public that you’re investing in your teachers is insulting, degrading, and disgraceful. Seriously. DO BETTER. Put your money where your misleading infographic is.

[Melissa Falkowski @m_falkowski]

@browardschools Total compensation… insurance benefits don’t put food on the table or send our own kids to college. Palm Beach gave their teachers $10k in referendum and still gave their teachers a 7.5% base salary raise and a one time bonus. This is disgraceful.

[Melissa Falkowski @m_falkowski]

@browardschools I’d like to know what the MEDIAN BASE salary numbers are because this is incredibly misleading. 20 years with BCPS and my base salary is $54k. Referendum is not salary and not guaranteed unless the taxpayers reauthorize it in 4 years.

As always, @marcorubio is scared and running away from his constituents because he can’t handle feedback.

“If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.”

Proverbs 15:31-33

1. Most of the people attending are concerned constituents. 2. If you can't handle these engagements, then this isn't the right job for you. https://t.co/1ekDfpHJ6H

Four years ago, I challenged @marcorubio to discuss the reality of the gun used in the gun violence that resulted in my daughter's murder. That was the last time he held a public event. I am disgusted, angered, but not surprised. He has been avoiding Floridians for a long time.

[Robert Schentrup @RobSchentrup]

Today has been hard. 2/21. Carmen’s birthday. It’s the day she would have been 21 years old. But she can’t, because she was murdered by a gunman with an AR-15.
@marcorubio spoke to my peers and I in response 4 years ago but hasn’t held a public event since. Maybe this is why?

[Melissa Falkowski @m_falkowski]

Four years ago today @marcorubio held his last public event. I was there. Since then he has been running scared. But we deserve answers. That is why @marcorubio needs to be reminded every day of his failure to speak with us.

@verizon - I work at MSD in Parkland, FL. On 2/14/18, I used Remind during the shooting to locate missing students and afterwards to communicate to them that I was safe and then check on them during the 2 weeks we did not have school. #ReverseTheFee #NotSpam

[Melissa Falkowski @m_falkowski]

@verizon - I use Remind every day to remind students about assignments and due dates. It is not spam. As an educator who uses this tool daily to positively impact students, I’m asking you to #ReverseTheFee
