Did you know that anyone can ask your employer for your home address and find out where you live? This is not true for all public employees, but there is legislation currently being considered to address this issue and protect your information.
Contact your State Representative right now to urge them to bring this bill up for a vote and ask for their support.
SB 1157 provides safety and security to educators and other public employees by protecting your personal information. It has already passed the Senate, but now we need to get it passed in the House.
We know that Freedom of Information (FOI) requests can be abused to try and obtain information that can result in threats of violence, vandalism of personal property, and families being harassed or even assaulted.
This is just one of the issues that CEA continues to fight for to enhance the teaching profession and support educators in the final days of the session, but it is a vital one when it comes to your safety and privacy.
If you have an additional moment and have not had an opportunity to do so, please consider emailing Gov. Lamont to tell him to fund legislation to fix the teacher crisis and address recruitment and retention.
