Dear Teachers,
As of the end of the day on July 31, 2012, more than half of teachers in USD 453 had voted, and overwhelmingly you voted in favor of the new negotiated agreement. Dr. Crane informed me this morning that the Board of Education ratified the Teachers Agreement last night with a 6-0 vote. (Loyal Torkelson was absent.) It's such a good feeling to have this accomplished before we return to work!
Your representatives during negotations were me, Dennis Dickson, Linda Schukman, Bryan Walker, Robin Crim, Michelle Smalls, Betty Sigle, Kay Smith, and Ruth Striggow.
Be sure to vote today for candidates who will support fair funding for Kansas schools!

Please support legislators who support kids!
Welcome back to a new school year! If you followed the Kansas legislature last year, you know that KNEA's advocacy made a huge difference in some of the proposals that were made and blocked others that would not have been good for students and teachers.
There are still representatives in our state government who want radical budget changes that would slash education funding and KPERS. They could have their way if more like-minded legislators are elected. PLEASE support the candidates who will make responsible choices on behalf of schoolchildren in Kansas.
