Happy #SchoolBusDriversDay to all the skilled & caring school bus drivers who safely shuttle students to and from school, field trips, & afterschool activities. So when you pick up and drop off at the bus stop today, remember: Thank your school bus driver!
When we organize, we win! Working Tennesseans who care about our public schools came together from across the state to fight the voucher scam & corporate interest. This victory is for all of us & shows that when we come together, we can change what's possible. Here's a recap⤵️

We were saddened to learn of the passing of former Representative Peggy Joan Maxie last week at the age of 87. Rep. Maxie was the first Black woman elected to the Washington State House of Representatives, serving the 37th District from 1971 to 1982. #waleg #BlackHistoryMonth
In #waleg, the state Senate just passed supplemental operating budget on 45-4 vote. Adds about $700M in new spending this biennium, more than half for K-12 and behavioral health system. WA House to vote on its budget Sat. Then negotiations begin. 13 days left in session.

Paraeducators touch so many lives. They elevate the happiness and development of the kids who rely on them. And they could use a raise, so I’ve proposed a budget for this legislative session that includes one. #Waleg (1/2)

We won!! This was only possible because of parents, students, educators and community members organizing together across the state. Congratulations to everyone who gave their time to this effort, here’s some of what we did together: tennessean.com/story/news/pol…
#OTD in 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral train left Warm Springs, Georgia for his final resting place in Hyde Park, New York. FDR's friend Chief Petty Officer Graham Jackson wept as he played "Goin' Home" on the accordion.
Proud to stand with our Port Angeles paraeducator siblings who are on strike for a fair contract. Washington’s labor movement backs these workers 100%!
ACTION ALERT: our paraeducator siblings in Port Angeles are on strike, fighting for a fair contract — and they need our support. Hit the link to tell the school board to invest in paras and the students and families they serve! @washingtonea #1u secure.ngpvan.com/f4m2pHZwt0iOAY…
Strike averted: We reached a tentative agreement at MultiCare Deaconess Hospital in Spokane and Valley Hospital in Spokane Valley! Our unity secured historic wins for our patients and our families. It’s our turn to join a ratification vote and make our contract wins official.
The House GOP wanted to cut Title I funding by 80%. NEA members knew how devastating this would be to our most vulnerable students, so we organized. We wrote Congress. We met with legislators face-to-face. Not only did we defeat the proposal, but we increased Title I funding.
Georgia just passed a bill that strips state subsidies for employers that voluntarily recognize their workers' union. Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to sign. ALEC has been floating similar legislation in other states. It already passed in Tennessee, too. huffpost.com/entry/georgia-…
On this day last year, SEIU Local 99 members launched a 3-day strike from March 21 – 23 to protest @LASchools unfair labor practices. @UTLAnow members joined in solidarity. We stood united for LA kids in the largest public education strike in U.S. history.
State funding doesn’t cover all the costs of basic education, enrichment or operations. School districts supplement funding with levies and bonds. Learn more about bonds and levies under the advocacy drop-down of the WSPTA leadership guides. #WSPTAOneVoice wastatepta.org/pta-leaders/le…

In my nearly 40 years at @UW, it is hard to think of any elected official who has done more for our students and for the people of our state than Frank Chopp. We are so grateful for his service and immensely proud to count him as a UW alum.
State Rep. Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, a monumental figure in state politics and Washington’s longest-serving House speaker, won’t seek reelection to his seat representing the 43rd Legislative District after three decades in the state House. st.news/4ceogYq

Celebrating a legend. 💚💙 Congratulations on your retirement, @OzzieAlonso!
Greg Abbott made sure Texas teachers didn’t see a cent of our $33 billion surplus by tying teacher pay to his failed voucher scam. Now, 75% of teachers say they’re burned out. Nearly 70% are thinking of leaving their job, according to @TexasAFT. Our teachers deserve better.
Fixing a broken student loan system means ensuring that college is affordable for all families. That’s the American dream.
