DEAR NEA MEMBERS,
I am honored to serve as your president. United, we will reclaim public education as a common good and transform it into a racially and socially just system that actually prepares every student - not one, not some, but every single student - to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world. Onward!
Face to Face With NEA Members
Educators in Virginia’s largest school district voted to become one of the biggest bargaining units on the East Coast, enabling the Alliance of Fairfax Education Unions (FEU) to improve wages, benefits, and working conditions for roughly 27,000 Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) workers.
This is a historic moment for educators in Fairfax where 97 percent of teachers voted for representation by Fairfax Education Unions, an alliance of the two major unions in the county. I was honored to celebrate this win with our Virgina educators and can’t wait to see all they will accomplish as union members!
What I'm Reading
When I began teaching, I didn’t realize how much my job would be impacted by politicians who never set foot in a classroom. All these years later, I’ve seen what happens to our students and our profession when we don’t engage in elections. Now, as I read Kamala’s Way: An American Life, I am reinvigorated at what is possible for our public schools with if Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris wins in November.
I especially loved reading more about Harris’ upbringing and her time as a prosecutor, which truly highlights her determination and resolve to stay true to her ideals and do what’s right.
