President
Bojak, members of the Board, Dr. Johnson, and Mr. Jolley, the membership of JEA
has voted to ratify this contract and I encourage you to vote for it as
well. While the negotiations process has
been long and difficult, teachers are grateful for steps and lanes this year and
the ability to continue negotiating policies that impact our salary, benefits,
and working conditions.
JEA appreciates the amendment to GP 115 in recognizing negotiated policies. Thank you for making that change.
The majority
of teachers in Jordan District want to do what is best for students. They take classes on how best to implement
the new Core. They work with their team
or department in PLCs, collaborating and helping each other know how best to
work with students to show learning gains.
Collaboration is needed at every level of this District, including in
classrooms, schools, departments, the Administration, the School Board, and
between the Administration and JEA, and the Board and JEA. JEA’s mission is a Great Public School For
Every Child. Jordan District’s mission
is to “Provide
excellent educational opportunities for all students and ensure quality
teachers, administrators and support staff.”
You need us, the quality educators who work with students every day, to
make this mission happen. Let us work
toward more effective collaboration in all that we do.
