York City Education Association

Thank you nurses! We appreciate all that you have done!

‘They See Us as the Enemy’: School Nurses Battle Covid-19, and Angry Parents School nurses, who were already stretched thin before the pandemic, say that they are overworked and overwhelmed.

As we have been celebrating our members, there is one crew who has been working on over-drive since March 2020! Thank you to our Nurses, both YCEA & ESP Union Members! We could not do our jobs without their hard work and dedication to the students in YCSD!
THANK YOU NURSES‼️‼️‼️

Since it’s a time to be thankful, let’s give some extra shoutouts to the people we are thankful for!! Janice Laird is our next YCEA Membership Spotlight recipient! She has been the Negotiations Chair and lead the committee through 131 days without a contract this school year. As a social studies teacher at William Penn Senior High School, she teaches AP World History and Honors World History.

When asked why she teaches at York High her response was, “I love the diversity and acceptance in YCSD. It makes me believe that our society can be a better place. 😊”

Thank You Janice for leading YCEA through negotiations this year! 🥳🔥💯🏆‼️
