Gov. Cooper vetoes terrible pay bill
“The General Assembly continues to shortchange teachers and non-certified school personnel like cafeteria workers, bus drivers and teacher assistants, despite a robust economy and decent raises for other state employees,” Cooper said in a news release. “Educators deserve more if our schools are to remain competitive with other states and keep good teachers.”

Time to step up Guilford!
It’s vital we set a STRONG example for the state of what it means to fight for more in this moment. The Governor’s veto of a terrible pay bill means we are back at the negotiating table. It’s not over yet!
Next steps:
Mon Nov 11: 1-5 pm: Work day at GCAE office making signs, doing picket line trainings and preparing materials for the coming week. 315 Spring Garden St, Suite 2-A.
Tues Nov 12: 5 pm: Demonstration and press conference outside Board of Education meeting. Pick up signs and materials for Wednesday. Wear red. 712 N Eugene St.
Wed Nov- 13: #RedForEd Walk-In Picket Lines. Every school able to do so should have a demonstration in the early morning prior to school starting on the sidewalk or frontage area. Don’t know how? We will train you and provide materials. We have a real opportunity to push for more in this moment. It’s time for us all to step up and be brave!
