Have you VOTED?

Balloting for the teacher representation election is taking place thru July 25th, when the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) will begin the tallying of votes starting at 10:00 am Eastern in Tallahassee. Members of the Santa Rosa Education Association have worked hard to provide teachers (and soon, Ed Support employees) the opportunity to remove the status quo bargaining agent and pave the way for CHANGE.

This is your chance to choose – once and for all – CHANGE and not more of the SAME.

CHANGE – in the way member input is valued
CHANGE – in the approach to membership recruitment and retention
CHANGE – by removing the walls the current bargaining agent has created with educators around Florida
CHANGE – in the way the association communicates with its members, the school board, and the public
CHANGE – in the affiliations with organizations which support public education instead of school choice
CHANGE – in the way the association reaches outside of the bargaining process to improve public education
CHANGE – in the leadership which has forgotten segments of its membership (Annual Contract teachers, Ed Support, etc.)

If you want to see CHANGE, then be part of the CHANGE.
Vote for Santa Rosa Education Association!
