Wear Red Wednesday!

Action is heating up in Raleigh!  Many teachers are signing petitions in support of better treatment and in protest of tenure-ending contracts.  People are starting to listen!  The latest public polls show that 77% of NC adults now support better pay for teachers.  With the General Assembly reconvening later this spring, we have to keep up the noise!  At our recent state teacher advisory council, I was reminded that less than 20% of NC adults ages 25 and up have children in the public schools (approximately 9.5 million adults, 1.5 million students...easy math).  Everyone needs to know the reality and importance of what we do! Share your story with neighbors, church members, and friends.

Start by wearing Red for Public Ed!

I've inserted the links if you would like to go further and add your voice to the protest efforts.
