Did you know that breaks are not paid leave? Most teacher contracts are for 197 days. Those days are then divided by 12 months. That means that most months a teacher is compensated for 16 days of pay despite working the entire month. This is how educators receive pay over twelve months. So educators do receive pay during breaks but the breaks are not paid leave.

It's an epic week in Virginia for Worker Rights. Last night, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance allowing collective bargaining for county workers. Now it's the school board's turn. The LCPS SB needs to show the same respect to its workers as the county showed their workers. Now is the time for a school board resolution allowing collective bargaining!

BREAKING: In a 6-2-1 Board of Supervisors vote last night, essential Loudoun County employees won a collective bargaining ordinance that provides us a real voice to strengthen pay, benefits, working conditions, and the public services we provide to the community!

We are one big step closer to a Loudoun County where ALL working families can thrive. Congratulations, union family!

American Education Week, Day 2: Happy Family Day!

Parental involvement means reading to your children, checking homework every night, limiting television viewing or screen time on school nights, developing a relationship with your child's teacher, and simply asking children about their school day. Whatever the level of involvement, it is important to be consistent in order to make a difference in your children's lives.

By joining together, we can help ensure that each student has access to social and emotional support, meals and after care programs, and high-quality instruction.

No contract should be one-size-fits-all. Educator-negotiated contracts provide school districts with the freedom to tackle each school’s local challenges head on.

Meet and Confer is a good start but it does not create policy. Additionally, meet and confer decisions are not binding and can be implemented differently at each work location. Collective bargaining creates binding policies that can be implemented fairly and relieve work load.
