Teachers deserve respect. See the emails from OCPS attorney John Palmerini and communications officer @scotthowat1 relating to the CTA lawsuit against Superintendent @maria_f_vazquez and the School Board in this article from Orlando Weekly. @OCPSnews https://t.co/ikXgorzBVe
@Judi_G_Hayes @maria_f_vazquez@OCPSnews@orange_cta Yes, and yet the problems continue. Having the language in contract would allow us to grieve and address concerns quickly for the nursing mom.
OCPS Supt. @maria_f_vazquez said NO to putting pumping rights in our teacher contract to protect nursing mothers. The school board will make a decision at the impasse hearing Wed., 10/16 at 9:30am. @OCPSnews@orange_cta
OCPS Supt. @maria_f_vazquez offered an average 1.9% raise for teachers. She made no movement after months of negotiations so @orange_cta had to declare impasse. It isn’t enough to help our teachers living paycheck to paycheck. Florida ranks 50th in average teacher pay. @OCPSnews
"Children need access to books, with characters that reflect their worlds and show them new ones. That’s why...the @AFTUnion finances these book giveaways through our members’ dues to get books into the hands of those who need them most." @rweingarten https://t.co/rVYt24rL20
Today marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education.
@sharemylesson has a great collection of K-12 resources to help students understand the Supreme Court decision that continues to impact public schools: https://t.co/zE1zKEJevI
Congratulations to the recipients of this year’s CTA Howard Fenner scholarship! A portion of membership dues is awarded annually to high school seniors of CTA members totaling approximately $30,000 this year! #THISisOurUnion#WeAreCTA@AFTunion@NEAToday@FloridaEA
Today our teachers are receiving PERCENTAGE RAISES because our Union members stood strong together in this fight and PERSISTED. We stood even after the district's first proposal once again of a flat amount raise. We stood even after the district declared impasse. And WE WON PERCENTAGES! We are FIGHTING FORWARD for educators in Orange County! Not part of your Union yet? We are #StrongerTogether. Join today at https://t.co/EYkYtjDDlg
Honored to be able to chat with @RepMaxwellFrost and Asst. US Secretary of Ed Gwen Graham and local lawmakers about the state of education in Florida including teacher shortages, pay, working conditions, book bans and culture wars. #publiced@AFTunion@NEAToday@FloridaEA
Congratulations! Teachers ratified their contract with 99.5% voting in favor! 50.1% of our bargaining unit voted (7,082). THANK YOU to our volunteers, barg. team, ARs, staff, and members who stood together to make this happen! Join today

After nearly 2 years of fighting DeSantis’ "Don’t Say Gay or Trans" law in the courts, we’ve reached a historic settlement with the state that puts an end to some of the most dangerous impacts of this law for students, parents, & teachers.

@MaxwellFrostFL@orange_cta Thank you for all you’re doing to stand with teachers and supporting public education! Our teachers deserve healthcare they can afford. 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you @MaxwellFrostFL for standing with teachers! The OCPS-proposed 64% average insurance increase is just too much at once for our teachers. @OCPSnews
Solidarity with the amazing teachers of @orange_cta as they fight for the affordable health insurance they deserve.
As the son of a public school educator of 37 years, I’ve seen how changes in healthcare costs can really impact the teacher & their family.
