On Friday we had a walk-in to support the teacher contract negotiations. One of the big features of this proposed contract is additional support for inclusion.

Women's Rights are Workers' Rights! Public employees deserve fair contracts no matter their gender!

Questions can be directed to Leila Parks, [email protected]. There will be meeting this Wednesday at 5:00 to stand in solidarity as we request a full time inclusion specialist and a full time nurse for the 2017-2018 school year.
