    In Louisiana, teachers and school employees have gone above and beyond to keep kids learning and help schools stay open. This year, we still have a lot of work to do to help students catch up and feel safe, happy, and successful in the classroom.

    Our teachers have gone above and beyond over the last year to keep students learning and keep them safe. We want safe and welcoming I. Person schooling this fall w/ a focus on literacy, civics, math, science, and well being. We want our kids to get their mojo back.

    For too long, our standardized tests have failed to serve students. Now, we have an opportunity to fix a broken system and rework how we approach "accountability" in the classroom.

    We are calling on Education to form a task force to rethink how we address both assessment and accountability. -

    worked to ensure schools, school districts, businesses, hospitals, and healthcare professions were held harmless this year. Why not teachers? Student growth is off & teachers deserve a break. Why push back on HCR 107 & ?

    Thank you for taking up HR 133 and HCR 107 to make sure that SLT's can't be used in teacher evaluations after this incredibly difficult year!!

    Ask your Senator to show that they value teachers and school employees. Louisiana is falling further behind the Southern Regional Average and it's time for the to step up and invest in our schools!

    LFT will continue to push the to use additional $$ for teachers and school employees raises! We can and should match the pay increase from 2019 ($1000/$500), if not exceed it! If we want to keep our dedicated teachers, we have to show them that their service is valued!!

    Thank you to Senator for bringing Senate Bill 128, which will ensure that teachers have guaranteed, duty free planning time every day. This is long overdue and greatly needed!

    Gov. Edwards announced that he plans to include a *small* pay increase for teachers and school employees in his new Executive Budget: $400 for teachers and $200 for support employees. Much remains unclear.

    YES -- any school employee who is over 65 years old can and should sign up to receive the right away! Unfortunately, the vaccine is not yet available to every SE who wants it, but we are working to push state officials to add educators the current tier.

    This week, 508 vaccine providers across the state will receive very limited doses of COVID vaccine. LDH has published the list of participating providers, along with their locations and contact information at . You can also call 211 for assistance.
