Being festive on the 5th day of Hanukkah (yes I forgot to post my outfits this year)

Yes!

I loved this! So true!

You know you are in a great training when 4 days have passed & you don’t want @PaulaMaeker to leave! So excited &grateful to work w/our guiding coalition to make @GullettElem a school like no other place. Thank you @DrDiaz_AISD for supporting this work! @AISDElementary

Our teachers and staff deserve it ALL! I’m proud of @AISD for making this commitment.

TEA’s Teacher Vacancy Task Force final report was released back in February. It focused on 3 key areas: Compensation, Training/Support, & Working Conditions. What happened to #txlege focusing on these key areas? Instead bills such as #SB8 are attempting to divert monies from #txed and add additional testing. #SB8 that aims to divert monies from #txed along with additional testing. #SB9 creates Teacher Retention Allotment to increase teacher salaries by $2K in districts with 20k students, $6K in districts with less than 20k. Only to be provided in the 2023-24 school year. #HB100 increases student allotment by $90 from $6,160 to $6,250 rather than what is needed. What can you do? Tell your legislators to protect and support public ed. p2a.co/9qC39Ns
