The proposed DCPS budget would make cuts to most of DC's public schools. If nothing is done, hundreds of teachers will be laid off at a time when students need them most. Sign the petition to fully fund DC public schools! @WTUTeacher #RealSolutions change.org/p/fully-fund-o…
I am grateful for the time I spent with the @WTUTeacher’s Bargaining team yesterday to discuss the status of their contract negotiations with DCPS. I look forward to working together to ensure that our teachers get a fair contract soon.
The clock is ticking @DCPSChancellor. Negotiations must be finished by early January to make the FY25 budget, or we risk falling 2 years behind on inflation adjustments at a time when DC is struggling to retain teachers. (1/2)
DC teachers wearing red for ed - furious that DCPS was a No Show at first negotiations on expired teachers contract. 75 DAYS and COUNTING!!! Stand with DC Teachers! Sign our Petition for Safe Schools now! wtulocal6.net/sign_the_petit… #redfored, #realsolutionsforkids
If @dcpublicschools get 5% cuts on February 11th or we don’t have funding for the WTU contract, everyone’s first call should be to @Janeese4DC’s office, who led the effort to spend $59.6M on temporary 9-month benefit payouts when our DC public schools face a ~$142M fiscal cliff.
This is a victory for the thousands of families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities in DC who depend on SNAP to get by. It should not have taken a fight, but people are always worth fighting for. Now we need DHS to get this funding out the door as soon as possible.
@AdultGambino1 @dcpublicschools @Janeese4DC @WTUTeacher I’m not supporting issues for “friends”, I’m supporting issues because they make sense, because they are the right thing to do, and because they benefit DC’s public school children. That’s what I was elected to do.
@AdultGambino1 @dcpublicschools @Janeese4DC @WTUTeacher Getting WTU’s contract funded in FY24 & FY25 budget/financial plan is extremely important, even if negotiations are ongoing & funds are in the workforce investment account. Otherwise we’d need to wait until FY26, which would harm teacher retention & negatively impact students.
@jessicahdgiles @DFER_DC But your money doesn't go to schools-it goes to fighting fair elections & to leaders who defund our public schools. You also support leaders who don't even show up to the @WTUTeacher negotiations and who don't support charter teachers unionizing so how are you pro-teacher?
@DCPSChancellor, This is really getting strange & difficult to justify. Please make time to meet with @WTUTeacher & CSO! @DCSBOE & two Ward 3 ANCs (@anc34g & @anc3d) have already passed resolutions asking you to negotiate new contracts in time to get them funded in FY25 budget.
Guess who showed up from DCPS at WTU's 1st contract negotiation meeting yesterday? Lawyers. Not one person in ed from DCPS bothered to show up! Clearly, the mayor can invest 500 million in a capital arena but allocate no money or time to DC teachers. #realsolutionsforkids,…
@WTUTeacher Outrageous! Keep fighting the good fight! #redfored #UnionStrong
Sources are telling me that neither @DCPSChancellor or any other @dcpublicschools central office rep attended the first meeting with @WTUTeacher to negotiate a new contract. Note that the previous contract expired on Sept. 30. It took nearly four years to finalize that.
Frederick Douglass was exactly right: “It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men.” If we choose not to support and respect our teachers it will cost us. Join ANC 3/4G in making sure our teachers in @WTUTeacher get a an overdue contract negotiation.
Findings of disparate racial impact of the DCPS IMPACT evaluation system should be disqualifying. We also know that teachers cite it as a major driver of turnover. Bring teachers to the table to build an evaluation system based on support and growth.
@WTUTeacher, DC City Councilmember Janesse Lewis George @Janeese4DC questions WTU President Pogue Lyons, @ForOleary, @Henderson4Ward5 on the value of IMPACT - DCPS' evaluation system for teachers. #redfored, #realsolutionsforkids
This morning I walked by the school building where I used to teach and saw my former student- who once tried to skip class by sliding out the side door- holding that same door open and greeting today’s students as they arrive. He’s now a Dean at the school. ❤️
Thanks to our amazing @dcsboe_sac students for unanimously approving my introduced state resolution tonight to urge @DCPSChancellor to return to the bargaining table to negotiate with @WTUTeacher in good faith. DC teachers should never be without a contract! #RedforEd (1/3)
Last year, even though per student funding (via the UPSFF) increased by 5.8%, most schools in Ward 3 & many schools across DC faced devastating 5% cuts in the proposed budget. This was due to the fact that @dcpublicschools fell 3 years behind on negotiating labor contracts. (2/3)
DC is already 9 1/2 months behind the ideal schedule for approving the @WTUTeacher contract, which should be approved before individual school budgets are sent to LSATs each year. @DCSBOE will vote on this proposed state resolution on Wednesday, October 18th. (3/3)
The Office would like to express gratitude to SBOE Representatives as well as DC Council, for their commitment to prioritizing education in DC. Thank you for hosting today’s Council breakfast. #BetterTogether #DCEducation
