Chapter Meeting this Friday, November 8th, in EDU 261

This Friday, November 8, is a chapter meeting in EDU 261 at noon. Lunch will be provided. Currently the Chapter is planning a “Meet and Greet” for President Currall at the end of the month. We could use some help getting out the word, creating flyers, etc.

Also on the agenda are discussions about consolidation. In January, negotiations for the new contract will begin with administration, so updates about that will begin after the first of the year. If you have suggestions about changes to the contract, feel free to come to the chapter meetings and voice your concerns or talk to a representative.

 

 

USF UFF Chapter Supports Fund Our Future

This year a major concern throughout the state of Florida is adequate funding for public education. The Fund Our Future campaign,  sponsored by the Florida Education Association, is a statewide effort to advocate for and shine a light on the needs of our students in public schools. Unfortunately, Florida has been flunking on education funding. Our state ranks consistently among the bottom 10 states in both per-student spending and pay for our teachers and education staff professionals. See the video below:
