WEAC Updates - Week of October 13th!

 Hi MEA!

Last night I attended WEAC's Local Leaders Meeting and wanted to pass along some time-sensitive updates and opportunities for activism.

  • Recertification Updates:

    • Our Recertification election is coming up on November 7-27

    • This is the important one that allows us to continue being the bargaining unit for salary with the district.

    • Keep your eyes peeled for emails and reminders when voting opens in November!


  • New Course Opportunity from WEA Academy (free to all union members):

    • Regulate 2 Educate gives educators the missing piece that makes everything else in the classroom work: nervous system regulation. You’ll learn simple, science-backed practices to support your own regulation, think clearly, and get inspired again.


  • Advocacy Updates:

    • Saturday is National No Kings Day, and WEAC representatives will be out in force!

    • Locals are partnering on events around the state -- follow this link for event updates in cities near you!

    • You can also sign up for email alerts for the current legislative sessions with that link


In Solidarity,

Carolyn
MEA Secretary
