Shelby County, if any of you need supplies or physical help with storm cleanup, shoot us a DM or send Mr. Gaking a text, and we’ll see about getting some teachers to help you out.

Imagine the talent our board could have found if they had actually tried.

Education leaders advocate for their students.

Education followers advocate for themselves.

We know which we want to be. How about you?

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

Is this our 10th board meeting since February? We’ve lost count.

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

We’re just gonna leave this here. https://t.co/z7RhQqeMSj

@Sportsboss4life @GIANTfmnews We were too, but we think people don’t see the point anymore. Hopefully people will take care of business in the school board elections.

Reminder that there is a meeting at 6:00 PM today about the new superintendent contract. The public has the right to attend and comment.

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

Reimbursements for teachers’ Master’s credits come with stipulations, including that they have to pay it back if they leave within 5 years. No such stipulations are in e new superintendent contract. He could take his $10k reimbursement and leave.

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

Paying him more for being licensed makes sense, but also reimbursing him for getting the license? That’s effectively paying $10k more for someone without the qualifications than you would have paid if they had the qualifications.

Public notice of the new superintendent contract: https://t.co/e74AhNRZXH

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

We believe “public meeting” part of the agenda includes public comment in accordance with IC 20-26-5-4.3. https://t.co/O0wW0cbAt2

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

Agenda updated to remove public comment.🤔

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance.

In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don't elevate others.

[Southwestern Teachers @swccta]

This cat gets it.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

It’s absolutely BONKERS when people don’t realize that teacher working conditions are student learning conditions. If the teachers are under duress:
STUDENTS ARE TOO
