The Durham Association of Educators will hold a "Pep Rally for Public
Education" next Friday afternoon at the CCB Plaza downtown (see
attachment). A "walk-in" in support of public education and school workers is planned at DSA for the following Monday 11/4, 8-8:30 a.m. outside in front of Weaver Auditorium.
It's pretty clear that educators in North Carolina are having a tough time. Morale is low (this is the case at DSA, too) and our teachers are leaving their jobs in increasing numbers. I don't want to suggest we get into a political discussion of teacher pay, testing, or any of the other contentious topics surrounding the state's commitment to education. What I would like to do is share this information with you and ask you to pass it on to your friends and neighbors.
Show your solidarity with teachers by participating in these events if you'd like. If not, if rallies and "walk-ins" aren't for you, there are other ways to support teachers and staff on a more personal level.
If you'd like more information about either event or would like to know what you can do to help spread the word (by passing out handbills before or after school perhaps), you can get in touch with Martha Ramirez (ESL teacher at DSA) at mramir...@gmail.com.

Hi, All.
I must stop multitasking (and I should put on my reading glasses). I made an error in the initial post's subject line. The Pep Rally for Public Education is being held next Friday, November 1st NOT November 11th.Sorry for any confusion.
