Every April at our statewide Council Meeting, we elect statewide officers for the next academic year. In addition, this year, we are conducting a special election to fill our vacant Vice President for Legislation seat. Below, you will find two calls for nominations: one for the special election and another for our annual election.
Call for Nominations: Council Executive Board (Term: June 15, 2019- June 14, 2020)
UTLA Strike Begins on Monday 1/14
Thousands of educators in Los Angeles are preparing to go on strike Monday, Jan. 14 in what will be one of the most important and biggest labor actions of the decade. LAUSD is the 2nd largest school district in the country, yet they’re severely underfunded and understaffed. Going on strike is never an easy decision. In fact, as well all know, it’s a last resort. Workers put everything on the line to stand together for what’s right. That’s what educators are prepared to do Monday. For their students. Parents. The community. For our entire labor movement. That’s why it’s so important that we all stand in solidarity with over 30,000 educators to demand smaller class sizes, more nurses and counselors, a fair wage, and accountability for charter schools.
