  Notes from Donna:

 

I hope your summer has been relaxing and enjoyable! We have a new principal and a Grade 2 teacher at the Butler School along with a
new physics teacher at the high school. There will be some challenges to face this year with the election of a governor.
The MTA is supporting Governor Deval Patrick since he has been very receptive to educators and the MTA. 

 

In addition, we need to join forces to vote NO on Question 3 in November, which relates to slashing the sales tax from 6.25 percent to 3 percent.
This will cost the state $2.5 billion a year, which will hurt funding for public education. We should also have an interesting year with negotiations
starting up again.

Best wishes for a great school year!

Your president,

Donna Conrad

Race to the Top

 

MTA President Paul Toner on Race to the Top approval

"I am extremely proud of the collaboration that took place during the planning stages for Massachusetts’ second-round Race to the Top application. This winning application was carefully crafted based on the ideas and feedback offered by key stakeholders in our public schools. Our proposal is the result of a true partnership that includes the MTA and other major education groups and takes into account the insights, expertise and experience of our public school teachers.

2010 MTA Summer
Conference in Williamstown

 

Amanda Pyne, Rebecca Howe, Tricia London, Jen Wozniak, Trudie Miller, and Donna Conrad attended the 2010 summer conference in Williamstown.
It was a great retreat! Governor Deval Patrick
was the guest speaker. We enjoyed the informative
and unique workshops, cultural events, fun socials
and the abundent food. Jen took the new members classes. Tricia, Amanda, and Becky returned for more inspiring workshops and I continued with the experienced presidents’ classes. Please consider treating yourself by attending next summer.
There’s something for everyone!
