Dear Colleagues,
A few weeks ago I had the
opportunity to visit Sacramento with
other CTA/Alcosta union leaders
while the legislature was in session. I
was incredibly shocked and disturbed
at the various bills that were being
considered
by
the
Assembly
Education Committee. There were no
fewer than 8 bills attempting to
dismantle teacher due process rights
and professional status.
