On 12/23 A&R exchanged collective bargaining proposals with the State. The Union was shocked to learn that the State Team was 40 Managers plus 1 Assistant Director of OLR (who has already negotiated two A&R contracts) and the high-priced lawyer that the State contracted as its representative for talks with P-5 (apparently OLR does not believe that it can provide these services adequately...anymore).
To be fair, it was just before Christmas, so only 28 managers showed up.
+Oppose HB3 and SJ256
They grants constitutional authority to approve Charter Schools to the Virginia Board of Education, enlarging a bureaucracy, rather than granting that authority to local school boards and the people who elect them. Research on charter schools suggest weakness in outcomes compared to traditional schools, governance problems, and high teacher turnover.
+Support legislation stipulating teacher performance evaluations are not public records.
+Support increasing access to the Virginia Preschool Initiative.
Making History
Return the Half Hour to County Teachers
by Bill Hosp
During the last local election one of the issues that received a good deal of attention in the campaign for the Potomac District seat on the Prince William County School Board was over a vote that had been taken in March 2012 that added half an hour to the teacher work day.

PRINCE WILLIAM FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Reclaiming the Promise of Fairness
Some of the worst bullies in our school system wear suits and work in offices. But fortunately, help is on the way. Two of our incoming school board members have experienced this problem themselves and it’s one of the reasons why they got themselves elected. Now we can take your complaints and pass them on to someone who will take them seriously.
FOOD DRIVE
In conjunction with the the United Labor Agency (ULA), A&R is coordinating a food drive and to make a donation to Foodshare. Foodshare's mission is to end hunger as a part of the overall community effort to alleviate poverty in the greater Hartford area.
