Meeting with the Governor

Quick update on the meeting with the Governor's staff.  It was as expected; the meeting was related to a request for contract adjustments to our July GWI.  The request however, went well beyond just a brief delay in the GWI...so it was a dud.  No further meetings scheduled, no counter-offer was made.  We will see if there is more, but right now, after 1 wage increase over 4 years in exchange for a $24billion savings deal for the State, this offer wasn't anything A&R was willing to entertain.

Until then, lots of questions remain unanswered.

Howard Fenner 2019-2020 Scholarship Recipients

Howard Fenner was a CTA member who taught Science at Maitland Middle School in Orlando for 19 years.  He established this scholarship, as he believed education was essential.  He also knew how hard it could be to send a child to college on a teacher’s salary. So we continue this scholarship in his memory.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed Executive Order 2020-65 to extend and clarify Executive Order 2020-35, which ordered all K-12 school buildings to close for instructional purposes to students for the remainder of the school year, and provided continuity of learning infrastructure by setting guidelines for remote learning.
