Olathe NEA

So proud to support our future educators 👏💪👏💪

🧡

Tonight, two ONEA members used their voices at public comments. Thank you Karen Sheehan Bishop and Megan Bricks for taking time in your summer to speak!

Throughout this school year, so many educators have used their voices in so many ways on so many topics...And we are going to need even more of you speaking out about what you and your students need. Our Board reads every email and values your input.

At tonight's meeting, the Board announced no changes to VERP and HRA at this time. Future decisions regarding changes depend upon state funding, including SPED funding and the school finance formula.

Educators and pro-public education advocates: your voices need to be heard at the ballot box and in Topeka 💪

As usual, we will be at tonight's Board meeting! You can view the live stream on our district YouTube 💪
