A priority bill for teachers, SB 381, has made it out of the Education Committee, and now we need Appropriations Committee members to act to approve our issues and send the bill on to the full legislature.
If you have legislators on the Appropriations Committee, click the button below to send them a message and ask them to support SB 381, An Act Concerning the Teaching Profession and Revisions to the Mandated Reporter Requirements. This bill contains several of CEA’s top issues that would positively impact you, our profession, and public education as a whole.
If neither of your legislators sit on the Appropriations Committee, after clicking on the button above and entering your address you will receive a message reading “we could not find a targeted representative for your area.” Rest assured that there will be more opportunities for all members to take action to pass bills this legislative session.
SB 381 is a landmark piece of legislation and includes proposals on critical issues, including:
- COVID recognition pay
- Statewide minimum starting salary
- Fairer “just cause” standard of discipline
- Improved DCF mandated reporting procedures
- Better contract arbitration process
We need legislators to support educators, students, and public education by approving the key proposals in SB 381.
