It's almost 2020 when do we abandon school traditions that were created to address the needs of over 100 years ago that no longer exist?

My 10-Year Challenge:
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2009: $54,319
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2019: $57,439
That’s an increase of $3,120 over 10 years. Based on the current inflation rate ($1.20 or 1.76%) it should be $65,158.

Round Rock ISD Board votes to increase pay for teachers w/ 6 experience by $4,300/year. Teachers w/ 1-5 years experience will get a $3,200-$3,600 boost. Translates to approximately a 7-8% increase, depending on experience.tinyurl.com/y2vxphyt

Hey Trailblazer families! We are participating in the HEB Plastic Bag Challenge in celebration of Earth day. All we have to do is collect plastic bags and we could win $150 for our school.

Hey @MrsCollins1787- one of my former students is so excited about the Shower Strike at @GRISHAM_MS! He told me today during tutoring about it and we found the news- I love what this is all about. Can’t wait to share with my 5th graders tomorrow. :)
